The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Matthias Ruschig finished 70th of 269 men in the Open division at Cologne 2026, in 1:18:17, faster than 74% of the field.
The runs carried this race: faster than 86% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 48% on the stations. The wall balls cost the most time: 1:09 slower than the median. Time in the roxzone, 4:39, was faster than 91% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Cologne 2026 and Hamburg 2025 were 3:47 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
