The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Sander Van Rooijen finished in the top 10% of the field at Mechelen 2026, in 59:16 for 22nd of 457 men in the Pro division.
Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 1:23 on the median. Time in the roxzone, 4:50, was faster than 98% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Mechelen 2026 and Amsterdam 2026 were 2:19 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
