The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Niek Borst took 2nd of 107 in the 16–24 age group at Amsterdam 2026, in 1:02:40.
The wall balls were the standout, 3:01 quicker than the median and 22nd of 570. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:46 better against the middle of the field than the first. Quick through the roxzone: 4:25, ahead of 97% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Amsterdam 2026 and Utrecht 2025 were 5:07 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
