Siria Meha and Alex Morris won the individual Elite titles at XENOM London, the second event of XENOM Season 001, held at Olympia in London on August 29 and 30.
Meha topped the Women’s Elite standings with 8,016 EPI points after 10 events, while Morris won the Men’s Elite competition with 7,155 points following a strong second day. The event brought the Decathlon of Fitness format to the UK, with athletes competing across Elite, RX, and Compete divisions in individual and pairs categories.
The weekend delivered close leaderboard battles, particularly in the Men’s Elite race, where Morris overturned a deficit at the halfway stage to move ahead of Cian Dunphy. In the Women’s Elite division, Meha set the pace from Day 001 and retained her lead through the final five events.
Siria Meha Takes Women’s Elite Title
Siria Meha was the leading athlete in the Women’s Elite division from the opening day and finished the competition at the top of the leaderboard with 8,016 EPI points.
Meha accumulated 3,899 points through the first five events, which gave her the lead after Day 001. She then maintained that advantage across Day 002, completing all 10 events with the highest total in the Women’s Elite field.
Her score put her 526 points ahead of Holly Tynan, who finished second on 7,490 points. Tynan remained close enough to keep pressure on the leader, but Meha’s scoring across the full competition gave her a clear final margin.
Brittany Anderson completed the Women’s Elite podium with 7,464 points. Anderson finished only 26 points behind Tynan, making the contest for second place particularly close. While Meha secured the overall title with room to spare, the two athletes behind her were separated by one of the narrowest margins at the top of the individual standings.
The result marked a strong weekend for Meha in a format that required athletes to complete 10 standardized events over two days. Her Day 001 lead proved important, but she still had to deliver across the final five events to protect her place at the top.
Meha Leads From Day 001 to Day 002
The Women’s Elite standings showed the importance of scoring well across the full Decathlon of Fitness. Meha’s 3,899 point total after the first five events provided a foundation for her overall victory, but the title was only secured after the second half of the weekend.
Her final score of 8,016 points was built from performances across every event rather than a single standout result. That approach allowed her to stay ahead of Tynan and Anderson, who both finished with more than 7,400 points.
Tynan’s final total of 7,490 points earned her second place and confirmed her position as Meha’s closest challenger in the Women’s Elite division. Anderson’s 7,464 points placed her third, just behind Tynan and well ahead of the next group of competitors.
The podium reflected a competitive field, with three athletes producing high total scores across the weekend. Meha ultimately had the strongest overall total and became the Women’s Elite champion at XENOM London.
Alex Morris Wins Men’s Elite After Day 002 Turnaround
Alex Morris claimed the Men’s Elite title after overturning a 62 point deficit to Cian Dunphy at the halfway stage of the competition.
After the first five events, Dunphy had scored 3,439 points, while Morris had recorded 3,377. Dunphy therefore entered Day 002 in first place, with Morris in second and 62 points behind. The small gap meant the overall result remained open, with five events still to complete.
Morris responded across the final five events and moved ahead of Dunphy in the overall standings. He finished the 10 event competition with 7,155 EPI points, which gave him the Men’s Elite title.
Dunphy finished second with 6,997 points. The final margin between the two athletes was 158 points, showing how Morris turned the standings around across Day 002. Dunphy had led after the first half of the event, but Morris produced enough points in the closing stages to take first place overall.
Valerio Tufo completed the Men’s Elite podium with 6,478 points. Tufo remained among the leading Elite athletes throughout the weekend and secured third place behind Morris and Dunphy.
A Tight Battle at the Top of the Men’s Field
The Men’s Elite competition was one of the main stories of the weekend because the lead changed between Day 001 and the final standings.
Dunphy’s first day score gave him a narrow advantage over Morris, but it was not enough to create a decisive lead. With five events remaining, both athletes were still in position to win the division.
Morris used Day 002 to close the 62 point gap and then extend his advantage to 158 points by the end of the competition. His result was a significant turnaround from the first day and demonstrated the value of remaining within striking distance across the opening five events.
Behind the podium, Max Baggio and Roope Heikkilä completed the Men’s Elite top five. Baggio finished with 6,349 points, while Heikkilä scored 6,343 points. Only six points separated the two athletes, adding another close contest to the final leaderboard.
The Men’s Elite standings also included athletes from RX and other divisions in the overall score list, but Morris, Dunphy, Tufo, Baggio, and Heikkilä were the top five Elite men based on their final EPI totals.
Elite Pairs Winners at XENOM London
The published event results also named winners in the Elite Pairs categories.
Sam Briggs and Kelly Friel won the Elite Women’s Pairs division. Briggs is the 2013 CrossFit Games champion and partnered with Friel for the XENOM London event.
In the men’s pairs competition, Carlos Albaladejo and Jacob Pfaff were named among the winners. Samuel Dell and Jamie Lowery were also listed as winning athletes in the men’s pairs results.
The pairs divisions added another element to the event weekend, with athletes taking on the same overall competition structure while working with a teammate. Alongside the individual Elite races, the pairs divisions brought experienced athletes and competitive teams to Olympia.
XENOM Brings Its Format to London
XENOM London was Event 002 of Season 001, following the inaugural event in Dallas earlier in 2026. The London competition took place at Olympia and featured the Decathlon of Fitness format.
All competitors completed 10 standardized events across two days. The competition used the Elite Performance Index, known as EPI, to produce cumulative scores and determine the final standings.
The event included Elite, RX, and Compete divisions, with individual and pairs options available. This allowed athletes with different competitive backgrounds to enter the same wider event while competing within their own division and category.
For the Elite athletes, the weekend represented an opportunity to establish themselves in the early stages of the XENOM season. Meha and Morris emerged as the leading individual performers in London after two days of competition and 10 completed events.
The Main Stories From XENOM London
Siria Meha’s Women’s Elite victory was defined by her ability to take the lead after Day 001 and retain it until the final standings. Her 8,016 point total was the highest Women’s Elite score of the event, placing her ahead of Holly Tynan and Brittany Anderson.
Alex Morris’s Men’s Elite win followed a different path. He began Day 002 behind Cian Dunphy, but recovered the 62 point deficit and finished with a 158 point lead. His final total of 7,155 points earned him the title, with Dunphy second and Valerio Tufo third.
The Elite Pairs results added wins for Sam Briggs and Kelly Friel, Carlos Albaladejo and Jacob Pfaff, and Samuel Dell and Jamie Lowery. Across the other divisions, athletes competed in RX and Compete individual and pairs categories over the same two day event.
