The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Bordeaux 2026, Youcef Bettahar crossed the line in 1:22:16: 202nd of 515 men, faster than 61% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 76% of the field beaten on the stations, against 43% on the runs. The wall balls were where this race was made, 2:05 ahead of the median. Stronger after halfway: 5:19 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Bordeaux 2026 and Nice 2026 were 2:01 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
