The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Olivier Fernandez won the 45–49 age group at Rome 2025 in 1:08:34, first of 21.
The runs carried this race: faster than 90% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 67% on the stations. Paced to finish: the second half went 3:21 better against the middle of the field than the first. Time in the roxzone, 4:32, was faster than 92% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Rome 2025 and Berlin 2025 were 2:09 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
