The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:27:36 at Mechelen 2026 put Dennis Eschmeijer 884th of 1,363 men in the Open division.
The runs carried this race: faster than 57% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 21% on the stations. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 3:43. The race faded late: the second half went 5:09 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Mechelen 2026 and Rotterdam 2024 were 7:57 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
