The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Bogdan Gherman finished 223rd of 277 men in the Open division at Berlin 2026, in 1:40:26.
The stations carried this race: faster than 54% of the field across all eight, against 4% on the runs. A harder second half: 3:21 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it. 17:08 in the roxzone was slower than 85% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Berlin 2026 and Vienna 2026 were 2:06 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
