The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Glasgow 2026, Matthew Lynn crossed the line in 1:21:43: 266th of 595 men, faster than 55% of the field.
The stations carried this race: faster than 67% of the field across all eight, against 43% on the runs. The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 1:03 quicker than the median and 152nd of 595. Stronger after halfway: 1:15 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Glasgow 2026 and Madrid 2025 were 2:39 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
