The race, in words
Yurou Chen & Qiao Xiao finished 57th of 90 women's teams in the Doubles Open division at Sydney 2026, in 1:31:11.
Legs and stations told different stories: 46% of the field beaten on the runs, 24% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the sled push, 1:28 behind the median. A harder second half: 1:07 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Sydney gave the field time back: about 3:19 faster than the average race this season, by 1,108 teams who raced both.
