The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Hennie Van Niekerk finished 23rd of 178 men in the Pro division at Cape Town 2026, in 1:07:06, faster than 87% of the field.
The wall balls were where this race was made, 1:46 ahead of the median. Stronger after halfway: 1:05 better against the middle of the field than before it. Time in the roxzone, 3:32, was faster than 87% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Cape Town 2026 and Johannesburg 2026 were 5:05 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
