The race, in words
Michał Cempulik & Magdalena Wierzbowska finished 301st of 488 mixed teams in the Doubles Open division at Katowice 2026, in 1:20:37.
A station race more than a running one: 54% of the field beaten on the stations, against 32% on the runs. The sled pull was the standout, 0:31 quicker than the median and 83rd of 488. The race faded late: the second half went 3:02 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Katowice gave the field time back: about 1:52 faster than the average race this season, by 260 teams who raced both.
