The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Sam Cranston finished 457th of 900 men in the Open division at Copenhagen 2026, in 1:25:25.
Legs and stations told different stories: 65% of the field beaten on the runs, 43% on the stations. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 0:36. The race faded late: the second half went 1:48 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Copenhagen 2026 and Madrid 2025 were 2:25 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
