The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:45:48 at Rome 2026 put Valerio Di Benedetto 920th of 1,062 men in the Open division.
The runs carried this race: faster than 50% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 4% on the stations. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 8:58. The race faded late: the second half went 8:00 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Rome 2026 and Rimini 2026 were 3:51 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
