The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Ief Haest finished 448th of 747 men in the Open division at Mechelen 2026, in 1:25:50.
The runs carried this race: faster than 56% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 27% on the stations. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 2:31. The race faded late: the second half went 1:54 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Mechelen 2026 and Amsterdam 2026 were 2:24 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
