The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Sascha Pudenz finished 549th of 924 men in the Open division at Cologne 2026, in 1:31:22.
On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 1:30. A harder second half: 2:45 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Cologne 2026 and Cologne 2025 were 3:01 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
