The race, in three figures
The race, in words
James Payne won the 16–24 age group at Berlin 2026 in 58:21, first of 73.
The wall balls were the standout, 3:42 quicker than the median and 3rd of 704. Stronger after halfway: 3:06 better against the middle of the field than before it. Time in the roxzone, 9:16, was faster than 99% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Berlin 2026 and Cardiff 2026 were 1:03 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
