The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Louise Vincent finished 671st of 776 women in the Open division at Mechelen 2026, in 1:53:45.
A station race more than a running one: 33% of the field beaten on the stations, against 7% on the runs. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 3:00. The race faded late: the second half went 2:13 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Mechelen 2026 and Gent 2025 were 2:27 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
