The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Marco Ruocco finished 590th of 799 men in the Open division at Bologna 2026, in 1:29:41.
Nowhere gained more than the sled pull: 0:56 on the median. On the sandbag lunges the field had the edge, by 2:05. The race faded late: the second half went 1:52 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Bologna 2026 and Madrid 2025 were 3:24 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
