A station race more than a running one: 79% of the field beaten on the stations, against 51% on the runs. The sandbag lunges were where this race was made, 1:20 ahead of the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 3:14 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Helsinki ran fast: the 167 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 3:35 quicker here than at their other races. 8:18 faster than at Turin 2026, the previous Pro race.
