The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Vittorio Catone finished 469th of 642 men in the Open division at Rome 2026, in 1:36:30.
On the sandbag lunges the field had the edge, by 2:31. A harder second half: 1:36 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Rome 2026 and Rimini 2026 were 3:51 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
