The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Nikesh Patel finished 269th of 642 men in the Open division at London Olympia 2026, in 1:21:55, faster than 58% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 68% of the field beaten on the runs, 44% on the stations. The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 1:25 quicker than the median and 118th of 642. On the sandbag lunges the field had the edge, by 1:21.
Athletes who raced both London Olympia 2026 and London Excel 2025 were 1:54 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
