The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Adrian Watson finished 465th of 665 men in the Open division at Beijing 2026, in 1:45:13.
A station race more than a running one: 44% of the field beaten on the stations, against 19% on the runs. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 0:56. Stronger after halfway: 2:33 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Beijing ran fast: the 546 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 2:56 quicker here than at their other races.
