Which Hyrox station shows the biggest Open vs Pro gap?

Across 17593 Open and 4301 Pro finishers, the Burpee Broad Jump gap between the divisions is 1:13 this season (Splitprint, 2026-08-28). The same station leads for women too, at 1:21.

Is Pro always faster than Open, station by station?

No. At Farmers Carry the gap is only 0:03, and on some of the heavier-loaded stations Open's benchmark is actually faster than Pro's. Pro works at Hyrox's heavier Pro weight standards on those stations, which can outweigh the fitness gap between the divisions.

Why does Splitprint call it the Pro Gap?

Because "Pro is faster" hides which stations actually carry that difference. The term is defined once, on our methodology page, and computed the same way for every station from official results.

Field Notes #3

The Pro Gap: where Open trails Pro, station by station

The Pro Gap is the difference per station between the Open and Pro benchmarks in the same season. The widest gap sits at Burpee Broad Jump: Open pays 1:13 more than Pro, 22.5% of Open's own time. At Farmers Carry it nearly disappears, 0:03. Measured across 17593 Open and 4301 Pro finishers.

What is the Pro Gap?

The Pro Gap is the difference per station between the Open and Pro field benchmarks in the same season. It is not one number: each of the 8 stations carries its own gap, and they vary far more than the overall finish time gap suggests. This season the widest sits at Burpee Broad Jump.

Benchmark per station: Open vs Pro (Men)

Station	Open	Pro	Gap
Burpee Broad Jump	5:22	4:10	1:13
Sled Push	3:09	3:54	0:45
Sandbag Lunges	5:14	4:43	0:31
Wall Balls	6:52	6:29	0:23
Rowing	4:53	4:30	0:22
Sled Pull	4:56	5:17	0:22
SkiErg	4:36	4:15	0:21
Farmers Carry	2:06	2:10	0:03

Men Open against Men Pro, the season's benchmark station time for each. A red gap means Open pays more than Pro, a green gap means Open is level with or ahead of Pro at that station.

Where is the gap the widest?

Burpee Broad Jump separates the divisions more than any other station: Open's benchmark is 5:22 against 4:10 for Pro, a gap of 1:13, or 22.5% of Open's own time. Across 17593 Open and 4301 Pro finishers, 20 and 10 events this season, this is the single station where Pro pulls furthest ahead.

Where does Pro not pull ahead?

At Farmers Carry the gap nearly closes: Open's benchmark of 2:06 sits within 0:03 of Pro's 2:10. Some load-bearing stations flip entirely, with Open's benchmark faster than Pro's. Hyrox runs Pro at heavier prescribed loads on the strength stations, and that extra weight can cost Pro more time than the fitness gap saves.
