The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Patrick O’Donnell finished 588th of 616 men in the Open division at Athens 2026, in 2:07:31.
If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 3:58 behind the median. A harder second half: 6:54 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it. The roxzone cost time: 14:32, behind 95% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Athens 2026 and Berlin 2026 were 2:21 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
