The race, in words
Karim Shaaban finished 400th of 1,192 men in the Open division at Rotterdam 2026, in 1:20:27, faster than 66% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 82% of the field beaten on the stations, against 46% on the runs. The wall balls were the standout, 2:04 quicker than the median and 138th of 1,192. Stronger after halfway: 3:18 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Rotterdam gave the field time back: about 1:19 faster than the average race this season, by 1,324 athletes who raced both. 1:36 faster than at Istanbul 1 2026, the previous Open race.
