The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Joao Gomes finished in the top 10% of the field at Bilbao 2026, in 1:02:43 for 74th of 1,500 men in the Open division.
The wall balls were the standout, 2:15 quicker than the median and 40th of 1,500. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:56 better against the middle of the field than the first. Quick through the roxzone: 4:10, ahead of 95% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Bilbao 2026 and Madrid 2025 were 6:01 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
