The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:09:45 at Hamburg 2026 put Ricardo Wendt on the age-group podium: 3rd of 49 in the 16–24 age group.
The runs carried this race: faster than 99% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 78% on the stations. A harder second half: 2:29 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it. Quick through the roxzone: 5:06, ahead of 91% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Hamburg 2026 and Berlin 2026 were 2:52 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
