The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Nicolas Bertrand finished in the top 10% of the field at Mechelen 2026, in 1:07:07 for 71st of 747 men in the Open division.
Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 1:15 on the median. Stronger after halfway: 1:41 better against the middle of the field than before it. Quick through the roxzone: 5:47, ahead of 93% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Mechelen 2026 and Amsterdam 2026 were 2:24 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
