The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Berlin 2026, Christoph Becker crossed the line in 1:18:45: 213th of 704 men, faster than 70% of the field.
The wall balls were the standout, 2:10 quicker than the median and 86th of 704. On the sandbag lunges the field had the edge, by 0:42. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:30 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Berlin 2026 and Berlin 2025 were 2:44 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
