The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Athens 2026, Nayden Valev crossed the line in 1:19:28: 242nd of 616 men, faster than 61% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 73% of the field beaten on the stations, against 50% on the runs. The burpee broad jumps were where this race was made, 1:24 ahead of the median.
Athletes who raced both Athens 2026 and Rimini 2026 were 5:16 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
