The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Tobias Schmitt won the Open division at Cologne 2026 in 56:07, first of 924 men.
The wall balls were the standout, 3:15 quicker than the median and 21st of 924. Paced to finish: the second half went 3:24 better against the middle of the field than the first. Time in the roxzone, 3:29, was faster than 99% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Cologne 2026 and Frankfurt 2025 were 2:59 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
