The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Ben Rostron & Christian Armour finished 374th of 598 men's teams in the Doubles Open division at Sydney 2026, in 1:14:58.
A station race more than a running one: 57% of the field beaten on the stations, against 33% on the runs. No single station decided it: every one landed within 0:12 of the median. A harder second half: 1:04 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Sydney gave the field time back: about 3:02 faster than the average race this season, by 682 teams who raced both.
