The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Samuel Wu finished 1,023rd of 1,490 men in the Open division at Hong Kong 2026, in 1:47:18.
Legs and stations told different stories: 57% of the field beaten on the runs, 19% on the stations. The sandbag lunges cost the most time: 4:27 slower than the median. The race faded late: the second half went 6:49 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Hong Kong 2026 and Hong Kong 2025 were 6:15 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
