The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Steven Coulomb finished 834th of 1,363 men in the Open division at Mechelen 2026, in 1:26:09.
The stations carried this race: faster than 52% of the field across all eight, against 28% on the runs. The burpee broad jumps were where this race was made, 0:47 ahead of the median. A harder second half: 1:50 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway 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.
