The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Teboho Khaba finished 540th of 740 men in the Open division at Johannesburg 2026, in 1:55:32.
Legs and stations told different stories: 48% of the field beaten on the runs, 19% on the stations. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 5:38. A harder second half: 1:20 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway 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.
