The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Virginie Vercruysse finished 316th of 776 women in the Open division at Mechelen 2026, in 1:30:55, faster than 59% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 0:57 on the median. A harder second half: 1:29 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Mechelen 2026 and Gent 2025 were 2:27 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
