The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:29:38 at Amsterdam 2026 put Brian Van Gemert 401st of 608 men in the Open division.
The runs carried this race: faster than 53% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 24% on the stations. On the burpee broad jumps the field had the edge, by 2:13. The race faded late: the second half went 1:02 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Amsterdam 2026 and Gent 2025 were 3:01 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
