The race, in words
1:49:34 at Beijing I 2026 put 宗剑 赵 873rd of 1,267 men in the Open division.
A station race more than a running one: 49% of the field beaten on the stations, against 16% on the runs. On the sandbag lunges the field had the edge, by 2:12. A harder second half: 5:17 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Beijing I ran fast: the 564 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 2:09 quicker here than at their other races.
