The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Athens 2026, Islam Galal crossed the line in 1:10:29: 106th of 616 men, faster than 83% of the field.
The runs carried this race: faster than 95% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 61% on the stations. Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 1:03 on the median. Time in the roxzone, 5:26, was faster than 90% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Athens 2026 and Istanbul 1 2026 were 3:18 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
