The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Jan-Michael Smyrek finished 867th of 1,003 men in the Open division at Karlsruhe 2026, in 1:51:09.
Nowhere gained more than the sled pull: 0:35 on the median. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 6:47. A harder second half: 5:10 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Karlsruhe 2026 and St. Gallen 2026 were 2:33 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
