The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Petra Sommer finished 320th of 424 women in the Open division at Bologna 2026, in 1:41:38.
A station race more than a running one: 59% of the field beaten on the stations, against 7% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 1:32 on the median. A harder second half: 1:57 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Bologna gave the field time back: about 2:51 faster than the average race this season, by 390 athletes who raced both. 0:24 faster than at Copenhagen 2026, the previous Open race.
