The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at St. Gallen 2026, Daniele Sinesi crossed the line in 1:20:53: 320th of 1,068 men, faster than 70% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 80% of the field beaten on the runs, 49% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 1:00 behind the median. A harder second half: 1:35 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
St. Gallen ran slow: the 530 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 1:57 slower here than at their other races. 3:49 slower than at Frankfurt 2025, the previous Open race.
