The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:21:31 at Amsterdam 2026 put Oscar De Smit 160th of 243 men in the Pro division.
The runs carried this race: faster than 50% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 30% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 2:11 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 1:13 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Amsterdam 2026 and Gent 2025 were 1:31 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
