Progress against the field
Victor Vara Royuela has dropped 3:16 behind the field from Madrid 2021 to Madrid 2023.
The races barely moved for everyone else, so 3:28 slower on the clock is close to the whole story.
The longest gap between two races compared here, 342 days between Madrid 2021 and Madrid 2022, cost 3:49 on 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.
