The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Ulvi Safarli finished 588th of 704 men in the Open division at Berlin 2026, in 1:44:23.
A station race more than a running one: 41% of the field beaten on the stations, against 6% on the runs. On the sandbag lunges the field had the edge, by 3:56. A harder second half: 7:02 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Berlin ran slow: the 2,286 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 0:42 slower here than at their other races.
