We are in "what if" territory but 2600 m is more than sufficient for a b777 below max landing weight on a dry runway.

The fact is that both pilots initiated a go around with flap and gear selection, even read back go around instructions, while not realising thrust was at idle! When they eventually did notice, at 85 feet and 134 kts, it was to late to recover.
