The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Rotterdam 2026, Bjorn Van der Graaf crossed the line in 1:19:24: 135th of 401 men, faster than 66% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 0:49 on the median. Stronger after halfway: 1:20 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Rotterdam 2026 and Gent 2025 were 3:58 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
