The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Taipei 2026, Flora Liu crossed the line in 1:34:31: 90th of 297 women, faster than 70% of the field.
The runs carried this race: faster than 82% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 56% on the stations. On the sandbag lunges the field had the edge, by 0:54. The race faded late: the second half went 1:24 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Taipei 2026 and Hong Kong 2025 were 7:21 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
