The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Jennifer Melchert finished 305th of 356 women in the Open division at Berlin 2026, in 1:54:41.
Legs and stations told different stories: 39% of the field beaten on the runs, 6% on the stations. The wall balls cost the most time: 7:27 slower than the median. The race faded late: the second half went 5:18 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
The field ran 1:13 slower at Berlin 2026 than at London Olympia 2026, which makes this time better than it looks.
