The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Mark Smith finished 223rd of 677 men in the Open division at Birmingham 2026, in 1:16:19, faster than 67% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the farmers carry: 0:49 on the median. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 1:14.
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.
