The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Matthias Walter finished in the top 10% of the field at Cologne 2025, in 1:02:19 for 20th of 1,182 men in the Open division.
The wall balls were the standout, 2:37 quicker than the median and 50th of 1,182. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:23 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Cologne 2025 and Hamburg 2023 were 3:11 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
