The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Mechelen 2026, Pierre Ryckelynck crossed the line in 1:15:42: 368th of 1,363 men, faster than 73% of the field.
The wall balls were where this race was made, 1:10 ahead of the median. Stronger after halfway: 2:11 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Mechelen 2026 and Bordeaux 2025 were 5:37 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
