The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Amr Elsehemy finished 501st of 743 men in the Open division at Istanbul 2026, in 1:34:59.
The sandbag lunges were the standout, 0:33 quicker than the median and 274th of 743. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 1:09 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 5:59 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Istanbul 2026 and Barcelona 2026 were 1:21 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
