The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Axel De lievre finished in the top 10% of the field at Mechelen 2026, in 1:03:11 for 34th of 1,363 men in the Open division.
The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 2:29 quicker than the median and 14th of 1,363. Quick through the roxzone: 5:40, ahead of 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.
