The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Sander Van Rooijen finished in the top 10% of the field at Rotterdam 2026, in 1:01:41 for 16th of 348 men in the Pro division.
The wall balls were the standout, 2:15 quicker than the median and 37th of 348. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:35 better against the middle of the field than the first. Quick through the roxzone: 4:04, ahead of 98% 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.
