Olympia May 2025 Event
The latest HYROX London event was held at the beautiful London Olympia from 3rd to 5th May 2025.
Along with the usual age group racing, the event was a qualifier for the first ever Elite 15 Doubles races at the 2025 World Championship in Chicago. The top 3 in the Men’s Pro Doubles and the Women’s Pro doubles all qualified for the Elite 15 races in Chicago. Those races were filmed (videos below), with Rox Lyfe’s Greg once again part of the commentary team.
Read on for the main results of the weekend…
Women’s Pro Doubles
There was a stacked line-up for the Women’s Pro Doubles division at HYROX London Olympia, including many familiar faces from the Elite 15 majors this season including World Champion Megan Jacoby partnering with Camilla Massa, Kate Davey and Zara Piergianni, Lucy Procter and Sinéad Bent, Jade Skillen and Jana Lebenstedt and many others.
The early stages of the race were tightly contested, however, it was the combination of Lucy Procter and Sinéad Bent who made their move at the Sled Push, taking the lead and never relinquishing it, with Meg & Camilla hot on their heels in 2nd place.
The Belgian duo Margot and Charlotte Vandenlindenloof raced in a later start wave and crossed the line in the third fastest time of the day, just a single second behind Megan and Camilla, but had already secured their place for Chicago at the Paris event earlier this season.
This opened the door for Kate Davey and Zara Piergianni, who delivered a strong performance to take 4th place overall to claim the final qualifying spot.
The final results were:
1. Lucy Procter & Sinéad Bent – 00:55:52
2. Megan Jacoby & Camilla Massa – 00:56:19
3. Margot & Charlotte Vandenlindenloof – 00:56:20 (already qualified at Paris)
4. Kate Davey & Zara Piergianni – 00:56:42
Lucy & Sinéad, Meg & Camilla and Kate & Zara all qualify for the Elite 15 race at the World Championships in Chicago in June.
Men’s Pro Doubles
The Men’s Pro Doubles race also boasted an incredibly talented line-up, including (among others) Charlie Botterill & Ollie Russell, Hidde Weersma & Thierry Willigenburg, Jake Williamson & Alen Ploj, Thomas Fry & Alan Cao, Joffrey Voisin & Guillaume Levoy, Tiago Lousa & Lukas Storath, Oli Fricker & Sean Noble, Aaron Woodman & Liam McCroary and Fabian Eisenlauer & Florian Gast. Many of those guys have been on the Rox Lyfe podcast which you can check out here or on YouTube.
There was a fast start and fierce competition, with the lead changing hands multiple times and the top 3 of Charlie & Ollie, Jake & Alen and Hidde & Thierry frequently swapping places from the row onwards.
The final results were:
1. Charlie Botterill & Ollie Russell – 50:02
2. Jake Williamson & Alen Ploj – 50:06
3. Hidde Weersma & Thierry Willigenburg – 50:07
Ultimately just 9 seconds separated 1st and 4th place. All three pairs have secured their places for the Men’s Pro Doubles Elite 15 World Championships in Chicago.
