The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Olivier Ballet finished 443rd of 495 men in the Open division at Lyon 2026, in 1:43:08.
On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 4:52. The race faded late: the second half went 2:29 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Lyon 2026 and Paris 1 2025 were 2:15 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
