The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:36:38 at Sao Paulo 2026 put Kaicheng Zhang 432nd of 591 men in the Open division.
On the sandbag lunges the field had the edge, by 2:35. The race faded late: the second half went 4:21 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Sao Paulo 2026 and Rio de Janeiro 2025 were 3:32 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
