The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Simeran Hayer finished 1,039th of 1,363 men in the Open division at Mechelen 2026, in 1:33:13.
The runs carried this race: faster than 36% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 16% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 2:59 behind the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:04 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Mechelen 2026 and Paris 2025 were 6:33 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
