The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Nils Linkiewicz finished 586th of 1,097 men in the Open division at Berlin 2026, in 1:27:05.
A station race more than a running one: 63% of the field beaten on the stations, against 29% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 1:16 on the median. A harder second half: 2:18 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Berlin 2026 and Hamburg 2025 were 2:39 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
