The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Virgilio Zupancich finished in the top 10% of the field at Rome 2026, in 1:07:49 for 83rd of 1,062 men in the Open division.
The wall balls were the standout, 2:17 quicker than the median and 56th of 1,062. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:43 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Rome 2026 and Verona 2025 were 2:51 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
