The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Jonathan Gauer took 2nd of 166 in the 25–29 age group at Cologne 2026, in 1:03:30.
The wall balls were the standout, 2:15 quicker than the median and 125th of 924. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:57 better against the middle of the field than the first. Quick through the roxzone: 3:57, ahead of 99% 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.
