The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Valentin Pisau finished 731st of 924 men in the Open division at Cologne 2026, in 1:41:57.
The runs carried this race: faster than 36% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 16% on the stations. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 2:52. Stronger after halfway: 1:40 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.
