The race, in three figures
The race, in words
John Polson finished 249th of 767 men in the Pro division at Stockholm 2026, in 1:04:08, faster than 68% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 90% of the field beaten on the runs, 49% on the stations. The race faded late: the second half went 2:11 worse against the middle of the field than the first. Quick through the roxzone: 4:01, ahead of 95% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Stockholm 2026 and Sydney 2025 were 2:09 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
