The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Christos Papaoikonomou finished 185th of 616 men in the Open division at Athens 2026, in 1:16:11, faster than 70% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 78% of the field beaten on the runs, 58% on the stations. Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 0:48 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:36 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Athens 2026 and Bologna 2026 were 1:59 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
