The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Elena Grigoryants finished 137th of 416 women in the Open division at Istanbul 2026, in 1:28:11, faster than 67% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 80% of the field beaten on the stations, against 51% on the runs. The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 1:18 quicker than the median and 99th of 416. The race faded late: the second half went 3:07 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Istanbul gave the field time back: about 2:43 faster than the average race this season, by 162 athletes who raced both.
