The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at London 2024, Matthew Watson crossed the line in 1:24:54: 765th of 1,637 men, faster than 53% of the field.
The runs carried this race: faster than 64% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 38% on the stations. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 1:16. A harder second half: 1:47 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both London 2024 and Paris 2024 were 1:16 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
