The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Pro division at Johannesburg 2026, Buyiswa Bam crossed the line in 1:34:56: 34th of 77 women, faster than 56% of the field.
The wall balls were where this race was made, 0:42 ahead of the median. On the burpee broad jumps the field had the edge, by 0:37. The race faded late: the second half went 1:26 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Johannesburg 2026 and Cape Town 1 2026 were 2:30 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
