The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Pavel Poliakov finished in the top 10% of the field at Shanghai 2026, in 1:07:19 for 21st of 347 men in the Pro division.
The wall balls were the standout, 3:03 quicker than the median and 23rd of 347. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:52 better against the middle of the field than the first. Time in the roxzone, 6:16, was faster than 94% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Shanghai 2026 and Shenzhen 2025 were 3:09 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
