The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Can Aksu finished 288th of 743 men in the Open division at Istanbul 2026, in 1:21:39, faster than 61% of the field.
The stations carried this race: faster than 70% of the field across all eight, against 46% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 1:48 on the median. Stronger after halfway: 2:05 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Istanbul 2026 and Berlin 2026 were 3:38 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
