The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Lyon 2026, EMILIE BLIGNY crossed the line in 1:26:35: 239th of 964 women, faster than 75% of the field.
The runs carried this race: faster than 84% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 59% on the stations. A harder second half: 1:06 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it. Time in the roxzone, 7:15, was faster than 85% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Lyon 2026 and Rome 2025 were 2:50 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
