The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:39:08 at Istanbul 2026 put Ali Erdi GENÇ 564th of 743 men in the Open division.
The stations carried this race: faster than 42% of the field across all eight, against 17% on the runs. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 1:07. A harder second half: 4:14 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Istanbul 2026 and Istanbul 1 2026 were 5:51 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
