The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Emre Abali finished 156th of 222 men in the Pro division at Istanbul 2026, in 1:24:17.
On the sandbag lunges the field had the edge, by 3:33. The race faded late: the second half went 3:53 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Istanbul 2026 and Istanbul 1 2026 were 2:04 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
