The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Mike Schifferle finished in the top 10% of the field at Cologne 2026, in 1:03:33 for 9th of 269 men in the Open division.
The wall balls were the standout, 3:06 quicker than the median and 8th of 269. Stronger after halfway: 2:39 better against the middle of the field than before it. Quick through the roxzone: 4:27, ahead of 95% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Cologne 2026 and EMEA London Olympia 2026 were 2:21 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
