The race, in words
Sven Olvira finished 740th of 993 men in the Open division at Berlin 2026, in 1:38:56.
A station race more than a running one: 41% of the field beaten on the stations, against 19% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 1:51 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 2:12 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
The field ran 2:10 faster at Berlin 2026 than at Gent 2025, a quicker course than most.
