The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Paweł Polakowski finished 233rd of 642 men in the Open division at Rome 2026, in 1:20:15, faster than 64% of the field.
The stations carried this race: faster than 87% of the field across all eight, against 36% on the runs. The wall balls were where this race was made, 2:15 ahead of the median. A harder second half: 1:09 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Rome 2026 and Warsaw 2025 were 1:24 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
