The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at London Olympia 2026, James Cowley crossed the line in 1:10:31: 112th of 897 men, faster than 88% of the field.
The wall balls were the standout, 2:23 quicker than the median and 80th of 897. Stronger after halfway: 2:10 better against the middle of the field than before it. Time in the roxzone, 4:19, was faster than 92% of the field.
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.
