The race, in words
Olivier Pirotte finished 210th of 1,363 men in the Open division at Mechelen 2026, in 1:11:01, faster than 85% of the field.
The wall balls were where this race was made, 1:44 ahead of the median. Stronger after halfway: 1:52 better against the middle of the field than before it. Time in the roxzone, 6:12, was faster than 89% 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.
