The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Volker Ley finished 653rd of 924 men in the Open division at Cologne 2026, in 1:37:05.
The wall balls cost the most time: 4:20 slower than the median. A harder second half: 3:20 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Cologne 2026 and Stuttgart 2025 were 2:54 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
