The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at London Olympia 2026, Edward Vella crossed the line in 1:25:11: 446th of 897 men, faster than 50% of the field.
The burpee broad jumps were where this race was made, 0:41 ahead of the median. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 1:23 behind the median. A harder second half: 2:14 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
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.
