Progress against the field
Sebastian Zender has gained 2:59 on the field from Frankfurt 2022 to Karlsruhe 2026.
The races themselves barely changed, so 2:52 faster on the clock is the real picture.
1027 days between Frankfurt 2023 and Karlsruhe 2026 is the longest gap compared here, and the second race was 3:20 better than the field.
How this is worked out ⓘ
A finish time moves for two reasons: the athlete, and the race — its course, its floor, its day. For each pair of races in a row in one category, we take everyone who raced both and use the middle of how much they moved (the median) as "the race". Whatever is left is the athlete. Doubles are compared only when the same two people raced both, and told as the pair's; relays are left out. A pair with fewer than 15 athletes in common is not shown.
