The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Filip Dobrovolny finished 259th of 747 men in the Open division at Mechelen 2026, in 1:16:27, faster than 65% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 74% of the field beaten on the stations, against 54% on the runs. The sandbag lunges were the standout, 1:04 quicker than the median and 118th of 747. Stronger after halfway: 1:55 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Mechelen 2026 and Katowice 2026 were 2:17 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
