The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Sam Sauvage finished 1,256th of 1,452 men in the Open division at Glasgow 2026, in 1:45:03.
Legs and stations told different stories: 28% of the field beaten on the runs, 7% on the stations. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 6:24. The race faded late: the second half went 5:40 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Glasgow 2026 and Glasgow 2025 were 1:36 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
