Tomasi Baptiste Hyrox Result

Overall Performance

Baptiste Tomasi delivered a commendable performance at the 2024 Singapore National Stadium, finishing 114th overall and 25th in his age group, placing him in the top 10% of his peers. Despite a strong finish, Baptiste's total running time was 1:50 slower than average, indicating room for improvement in his running performance. His splits suggest a strong strength profile, particularly in sled push and sled pull events, where he significantly outperformed the average. However, his initial running splits indicate he may have started the race too slowly, taking more time to transition into his optimal pace. His Roxzone time, slower than average, suggests that optimizing transitions could further enhance his overall performance.
