The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:18:44 at Rome 2026 put Federico Balsamo 358th of 1,062 men in the Open division, ahead of 66% of the field.
The wall balls were where this race was made, 1:16 ahead of the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:26 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Rome 2026 and Athens 2026 were 1:17 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
