The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Birmingham 2026, Bradley Smith crossed the line in 1:11:19: 244th of 1,442 men, faster than 83% of the field.
The runs carried this race: faster than 92% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 69% on the stations. The wall balls were where this race was made, 1:24 ahead of the median. Stronger after halfway: 1:00 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and London 2024 were 7:29 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
