The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Joshua Chambers finished 562nd of 665 men in the Open division at Beijing 2026, in 1:57:11.
The stations carried this race: faster than 34% of the field across all eight, against 11% on the runs. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 4:39. The race faded late: the second half went 5:49 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Beijing 2026 and Shenzhen 2026 were 3:08 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
