The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Rotterdam 2026, Emma Daemen crossed the line in 1:36:42: 210th of 485 women, faster than 57% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 78% of the field beaten on the runs, 37% on the stations. The wall balls cost the most time: 2:19 slower than the median. A harder second half: 4:59 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Rotterdam 2026 and Gent 2025 were 2:04 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
