The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Norbert Smela finished 963rd of 1,349 men in the Open division at Gdansk 2026, in 1:37:53.
A station race more than a running one: 48% of the field beaten on the stations, against 27% on the runs. The sandbag lunges cost the most time: 1:45 slower than the median. 12:36 in the roxzone was slower than 95% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Gdansk 2026 and Warsaw 2026 were 1:38 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
