The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Brieuc De Streel finished in the top 10% of the field at Mechelen 2026, in 1:01:37 for 15th of 561 men in the Open division.
The wall balls were the standout, 2:19 quicker than the median and 19th of 561. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:16 better against the middle of the field than the first. Time in the roxzone, 5:30, was faster than 96% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Mechelen 2026 and Gent 2025 were 4:31 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
