The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Michael Liew finished 535th of 897 men in the Open division at London Olympia 2026, in 1:29:13.
Legs and stations told different stories: 55% of the field beaten on the runs, 27% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the sled push, 1:26 behind the median. Stronger after halfway: 3:38 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both London Olympia 2026 and Madrid 2025 were 4:45 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
