The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Karlsruhe 2026, Nico Merx crossed the line in 1:20:48: 287th of 1,003 men, faster than 71% of the field.
The wall balls were the standout, 2:44 quicker than the median and 82nd of 1,003. Stronger after halfway: 1:05 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Karlsruhe 2026 and Karlsruhe 2025 were 2:49 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
