The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Sam Schoeman won the Pro division at Rotterdam 2026 in 56:43, first of 348 men.
The wall balls were the standout, 3:25 quicker than the median and 5th of 348. Stronger after halfway: 4:01 better against the middle of the field than before it. Quick through the roxzone: 3:41, ahead of 99% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Rotterdam 2026 and Mechelen 2026 were 1:23 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
