The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Katowice 2026, Sofie Čechmánková crossed the line in 1:27:30: 196th of 486 women, faster than 60% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 77% of the field beaten on the stations, against 45% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 1:07 on the median. A harder second half: 1:10 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Katowice ran fast: the 293 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 1:15 quicker here than at their other races. 10:47 faster than at Madrid 2025, the previous Open race.
