The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:02:50 at Rotterdam 2026 put Niels Beelen on the age-group podium: 3rd of 78 in the 25–29 age group.
The wall balls were where this race was made, 2:34 ahead of the median. Stronger after halfway: 2:30 better against the middle of the field than before it. Quick through the roxzone: 4:17, ahead of 99% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Rotterdam 2026 and Gent 2025 were 3:58 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
