The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Davide Merli finished 626th of 799 men in the Open division at Bologna 2026, in 1:31:34.
The sled pull was the standout, 0:37 quicker than the median and 176th of 799. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 3:05. A harder second half: 1:05 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Bologna 2026 and Verona 2025 were 3:49 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
