The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Lyon 2026, Romain BABEAU crossed the line in 1:11:33: 91st of 698 men, faster than 87% of the field.
The wall balls were the standout, 2:00 quicker than the median and 77th of 698. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:36 better against the middle of the field than the first. Time in the roxzone, 6:08, was faster than 86% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Lyon 2026 and Paris 2023 were 10:06 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
