The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Bryce Van Aert finished in the top 10% of the field at Toronto 2026, in 1:13:21 for 105th of 1,135 men in the Open division.
The runs carried this race: faster than 98% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 71% on the stations. Stronger after halfway: 6:10 better against the middle of the field than before it. Time in the roxzone, 3:22, was faster than 98% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Toronto 2026 and Vancouver 2025 were 3:42 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
