The race, in three figures
The race, in words
François Genon-Catalot finished 843rd of 1,103 men in the Open division at Hamburg 2026, in 1:39:53.
The runs carried this race: faster than 60% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 10% on the stations. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 4:58. The race faded late: the second half went 1:53 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Hamburg 2026 and Hamburg 2025 were 3:00 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
