The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at London Olympia 2026, Paul Wotton crossed the line in 1:25:48: 108th of 219 men, faster than 51% of the field.
The sandbag lunges were where this race was made, 2:02 ahead of the median. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 3:47. The race faded late: the second half went 4:59 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
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.
