The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Katie Castaings & Solomona Sopoaga finished 762nd of 1,099 mixed teams in the Doubles Open division at Sydney 2026, in 1:28:57.
A station race more than a running one: 52% of the field beaten on the stations, against 23% on the runs. No single station decided it: every one landed within 0:15 of the median. The race faded late: the second half went 1:42 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
This was a quick course. Against their other races this season, the people who raced Sydney gained about 2:11.
