The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Tom Ward finished 161st of 677 men in the Open division at Birmingham 2026, in 1:12:22, faster than 76% of the field.
The wall balls were the standout, 1:43 quicker than the median and 147th of 677. Stronger after halfway: 2:50 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and London Olympia 2026 were 1:29 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
