The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Niels van Bruggen finished in the top 10% of the field at Rotterdam 2026, in 1:07:02 for 51st of 1,192 men in the Open division.
The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 2:33 quicker than the median and 11th of 1,192. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:23 better against the middle of the field than the first. Quick through the roxzone: 4:46, ahead of 95% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Rotterdam 2026 and Maastricht 2024 were 4:15 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
