The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Cologne 2026, Sascha Nitsche crossed the line in 1:15:01: 166th of 924 men, faster than 82% of the field.
The wall balls were the standout, 2:10 quicker than the median and 137th of 924. Stronger after halfway: 2:12 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Cologne 2026 and Hamburg 2025 were 3:47 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
