Compared across 2 organizations. Marathon & Extended Formats category.
In marathon (60 min) and half-marathon (30 min) events, if the athlete puts the kettlebell down before the time is over, the set is terminated and the score is ZERO — all repetitions are voided. This is a critical difference from the standard 10-minute set where previously completed reps count even if the bell touches the platform.
Terminating a set before the clock runs out voids the athlete's results: the athlete is disqualified and the score becomes 0. Additionally, throwing or dropping a kettlebell intentionally will result in instant disqualification. This includes at the termination of the set, whether at 30 minutes, 60 minutes, or earlier. This is IKMF's signature rule that distinguishes it from all other kettlebell sport organizations.
