The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Aksel Ryustem finished in the top 10% of the field at Istanbul 1 2026, in 1:03:11 for 10th of 609 men in the Open division.
The wall balls were the standout, 2:57 quicker than the median and 20th of 609. Stronger after halfway: 1:42 better against the middle of the field than before it. Quick through the roxzone: 6:17, ahead of 97% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Istanbul 1 2026 and Madrid 2025 were 3:20 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
