Maybe they had a "sticky bottle"
Friend of mine fell off and got 2 KOMs on the way to the hospital in the ambulance!

I'm dead last on a segment (226th out of 226) near my father in law's house. I've only ridden it once and I stopped off at his house on the way.
I only use Strava segments for comparing me to me. I'm never going to get near the top of any, except maybe some deviously obscure ones. Interestingly I'm around the middle on most climbs as a cyclist, slightly above the middle as a runner and a bit more above the middle as a mtn biker. That's in the UK. In France I'm very much near the bottom!

Am always some where in the top third. But if I do it in my age group I am normally in the top ten. But you need premium strava to check that.

I think you have to remember being the fastest is only one perameter, its much more important -
Being the most stylish
Looking fast
Looking like you know how to ride a bike
Filling your pockets on the back of your jersey with loads of stuff particularly bananas sticking out so it looks like you've ridden a long way
And having the best kit obviously

My lowest is 44947th out of 54220 on a segment during Ride London where there was too much 'traffic' to do much about it. My best is 3rd out of 601 on an uphill segment not far from work.
Will never be a KOM but happy to see my own times improve albeit slowly,

I am currently only using Strava to upload my routes. As my routes are changing its good to gauge how I am going as the rides get a little longer.
On various segments I was faster one week than the previous (first time I had gone that way) yet my overall speed was slower and I had gone further. But that would be down to encountering a strange beast, a hill in southeast Essex.

I'm sure I've got a couple of climbs where I've stopped at what I thought was the top but was a couple of metres short of the end of the segment. Had a nice rest, something to eat, set off a bit later. I'm very close to last on these, I'll have a look for them when I've got time
Is there a way on Strava to search positions or refine the gazillon segments I've done to find info?

How do you get to see your position in summary? I'm not on premium. I mostly use it to see how fast I personally have gone and how far, and even then I know I'm not a sporty person - all about the data

Hmmm, still at the bottom when using any of these measures ... apart from perhaps filling my pockets with Jelly Babies.

There are some road climbs where I am bottom 10%
7th from bottom with about 3000+ people in the list. Pinch puncture due to rock/rim strike on a DH section in the peaks. Reckon the other 6 either had a major mechanical or broken bones :-S

It is not perfect but the free stravisitX plugin for Chrome shows you, plus a whole lot more information that you normally need to be a premium member to see.

That reminds me. I just looked at a running segment, all participants below a minute apart from the one in last. 1hr 18secs. Must have taken a picnic.

Guy local to us smashed his collar bone on some ice and set quite a few on the way to A&E. Didn't take long for them to be flagged though
Best one I have seen is a local DH section (off road) had people clocking 110MPH for the KOM. Reckon they had been tweaking their results for comical effect
