The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Liam Thomas & Jessica Jackson finished 247th of 366 mixed teams in the Doubles Open division at Sydney 2026, in 1:24:52.
A station race more than a running one: 50% of the field beaten on the stations, against 28% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 0:40 behind the median. A harder second half: 1:12 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Sydney ran fast: the 884 teams who also raced elsewhere this season were about 2:11 quicker here than at their other races.
