The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Rome 2025, luca balzarotti crossed the line in 1:11:55: 278th of 1,367 men, faster than 80% of the field.
The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 1:24 quicker than the median and 206th of 1,367. A harder second half: 2:35 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Rome 2025 and Rimini 2025 were 1:58 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
