The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Xueli Gao finished 1,434th of 1,581 men in the Open division at Sydney 2026, in 1:56:56.
The wall balls cost the most time: 11:17 slower than the median. The race faded late: the second half went 12:08 worse against the middle of the field than the first. 12:25 in the roxzone was slower than 90% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Sydney 2026 and Sydney 2025 were 3:08 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
