The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Valentin Thoilliez finished in the top 10% of the field at Mechelen 2026, in 1:01:27 for 10th of 561 men in the Open division.
The burpee broad jumps were where this race was made, 2:04 ahead of the median. Stronger after halfway: 1:22 better against the middle of the field than before it. Time in the roxzone, 5:20, was faster than 98% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Mechelen 2026 and Paris 2025 were 6:33 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
