The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Nicola Staelens took 2nd of 209 in the 40–44 age group at Amsterdam 2026, in 1:03:04.
The wall balls were where this race was made, 2:46 ahead of the median. Stronger after halfway: 2:21 better against the middle of the field than before it. Quick through the roxzone: 4:48, ahead of 94% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Amsterdam 2026 and Gent 2025 were 3:01 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
