The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Cologne 2026, Saidu Sturm crossed the line in 1:11:48: 35th of 269 men, faster than 87% of the field.
The wall balls were the standout, 2:23 quicker than the median and 26th of 269. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:24 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Cologne 2026 and Cologne 2025 were 3:01 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
