The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Sietse Beukenkamp finished 470th of 561 men in the Open division at Mechelen 2026, in 1:35:25.
On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 2:05. A harder second half: 2:40 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it. The roxzone cost time: 11:15, behind 94% 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.
