The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Matthew Lewis finished 262nd of 1,122 men in the Open division at Sydney 2026, in 1:14:56, faster than 77% of the field.
The runs carried this race: faster than 85% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 59% on the stations. The race faded late: the second half went 2:18 worse against the middle of the field than the first. Time in the roxzone, 6:46, was faster than 91% 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.
