The race, in three figures
The race, in words
João Melo finished 112th of 193 men in the Pro division at Sao Paulo 2026, in 1:29:47.
The wall balls were where this race was made, 1:20 ahead of the median. If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 1:43 behind the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:46 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Sao Paulo 2026 and Rio de Janeiro 2025 were 1:35 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
