The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Charles Simmonds finished 118th of 219 men in the Open division at London Olympia 2026, in 1:27:49.
Legs and stations told different stories: 68% of the field beaten on the runs, 45% on the stations. The race faded late: the second half went 2:14 worse against the middle of the field than the first. The roxzone cost time: 8:59, behind 87% of the field.
Athletes who raced both London Olympia 2026 and Hamburg 2025 were 3:31 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
