The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Lyon 2026, Yohann Varrel crossed the line in 1:21:34: 276th of 698 men, faster than 61% of the field.
The sandbag lunges were the standout, 1:17 quicker than the median and 86th of 698. On the sled push the field had the edge, by 0:44. Paced to finish: the second half went 3:13 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Lyon 2026 and Paris 2025 were 5:43 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
