The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Maribel Gerena & Ilona Guzman finished 921st of 1,256 women's teams in the Doubles Open division at Sydney 2026, in 1:33:10.
A station race more than a running one: 45% of the field beaten on the stations, against 19% on the runs. No single station decided it: every one landed within 0:14 of the median. A harder second half: 7:42 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Sydney ran fast: the 1,108 teams who also raced elsewhere this season were about 3:19 quicker here than at their other races.
