The race, in words
Yoshimi Imamura finished 511th of 511 men in the Open division at Osaka 2026, in 3:01:15.
Legs and stations told different stories: 26% of the field beaten on the runs, 1% on the stations. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 22:39. A harder second half: 15:45 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Osaka ran fast: the 777 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 1:20 quicker here than at their other races.
