The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Marco Sijbesma finished 552nd of 556 men in the Open division at Rotterdam 2026, in 2:31:19.
On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 11:07. A harder second half: 13:39 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it. 12:22 in the roxzone was slower than 96% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Rotterdam 2026 and Amsterdam 2026 were 2:08 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
