The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Sameer Taneja finished 1,017th of 1,403 men in the Open division at Delhi 2026, in 2:14:28.
The stations carried this race: faster than 48% of the field across all eight, against 16% on the runs. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 1:28. A harder second half: 12:18 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Delhi 2026 and Delhi 2025 were 7:23 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
