The race, in words
In the Open division at London Olympia 2026, Chris Sills crossed the line in 1:19:26: 233rd of 642 men, faster than 64% of the field.
The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 1:35 quicker than the median and 92nd of 642. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 2:05 behind the median. A harder second half: 3:58 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
London Olympia gave the field time back: about 0:53 faster than the average race this season, by 1,564 athletes who raced both. 1:59 slower than at Bilbao 2026, the previous Open race.
