The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Damien Couchez finished 1,290th of 1,513 men in the Open division at Lyon 2026, in 1:40:47.
On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 3:33. A harder second half: 4:30 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Lyon 2026 and Paris 2025 were 5:43 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
