The race, in three figures
The race, in words
A top 10% finish for Roman Grigoriev at Cardiff 2026: 1:08:27, 39th of 466 men in the Open division.
Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 1:17 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:10 better against the middle of the field than the first. Quick through the roxzone: 2:37, ahead of 97% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Cardiff 2026 and London Olympia 2026 were 1:16 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
