The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Johannesburg 2026, Thembani Mohale crossed the line in 1:25:32: 145th of 740 men, faster than 80% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 3:06 on the median. Stronger after halfway: 3:16 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Johannesburg 2026 and Johannesburg 2025 were 9:49 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
