The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Tahir Haq finished 458th of 528 men in the Open division at Cardiff 2026, in 1:46:13.
On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 2:51. The race faded late: the second half went 1:35 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Cardiff 2026 and London Excel 2025 were 1:45 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
