The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Andrew Gianakakis finished 551st of 616 men in the Open division at Athens 2026, in 1:54:20.
Legs and stations told different stories: 40% of the field beaten on the runs, 6% on the stations. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 7:22. The race faded late: the second half went 3:05 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Athens 2026 and Riga 2026 were 2:40 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
