The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Guilbert Venal finished 730th of 1,122 men in the Open division at Sydney 2026, in 1:30:40.
Legs and stations told different stories: 47% of the field beaten on the runs, 27% on the stations. On the burpee broad jumps the field had the edge, by 2:19. Paced to finish: the second half went 6:08 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Sydney 2026 and Perth 2025 were 5:38 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
