Progress against the field
Dries Benoit has gained 12:40 on the field from Rotterdam 2024 to Mechelen 2026.
The clock says 24:07 faster, but the races themselves got 11:27 quicker for everyone.
364 days between Rotterdam 2024 and Belgium 2025 is the longest gap compared here, and the second race was 12:07 better than the field.
How this is worked out ⓘ
A finish time moves for two reasons: the athlete, and the race — its course, its floor, its day. For each pair of races in a row in one category, we take everyone who raced both and use the middle of how much they moved (the median) as "the race". Whatever is left is the athlete. Doubles are compared only when the same two people raced both, and told as the pair's; relays are left out. A pair with fewer than 15 athletes in common is not shown.
