The race, in words

Merel Van Carpels finished 685th of 776 women in the Open division at Mechelen 2026, in 1:55:16.

On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 6:51. The race faded late: the second half went 11:16 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.
