The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Cooper O’brien took 3rd of 119 in the 16–24 age group at Sydney 2026, in 57:23.
The wall balls were the standout, 3:43 quicker than the median and 2nd of 1,122. Stronger after halfway: 5:29 better against the middle of the field than before it. Quick through the roxzone: 5:51, ahead of 99% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Sydney 2026 and APAC Championship Brisbane 2026 were 3:11 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
