The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:30:25 at Beijing 2026 put Shichun Zheng 199th of 369 men in the Open division.
Legs and stations told different stories: 63% of the field beaten on the runs, 27% on the stations. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 1:58. The race faded late: the second half went 2:22 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Beijing ran fast: the 546 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 2:56 quicker here than at their other races.
