The race, in words
Frederic John & Niclas Stietz finished 275th of 349 men's teams in the Doubles Open division at Katowice 2026, in 1:20:15.
A station race more than a running one: 45% of the field beaten on the stations, against 20% on the runs. A harder second half: 2:38 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Katowice ran fast: the 219 teams who also raced elsewhere this season were about 2:02 quicker here than at their other races.
