The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Mechelen 2026, Guillaume Sturbaut crossed the line in 1:12:12: 255th of 1,363 men, faster than 81% of the field.
The wall balls were where this race was made, 1:14 ahead of the median. Stronger after halfway: 1:13 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Mechelen 2026 and Gent 2025 were 4:31 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
