The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Saviour Vella finished 144th of 1,006 men in the Open division at Bologna 2026, in 1:10:18, faster than 86% of the field.
The wall balls were the standout, 2:35 quicker than the median and 15th of 1,006. Paced to finish: the second half went 3:21 better against the middle of the field than the first. Time in the roxzone, 5:29, was faster than 87% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Bologna 2026 and Rome 2025 were 6:09 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
