The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:37:01 at Amsterdam 2026 put knud nelissen 1,317th of 1,620 men in the Open division.
Legs and stations told different stories: 50% of the field beaten on the runs, 7% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 6:35 behind the median. A harder second half: 4:44 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Amsterdam 2026 and Gent 2025 were 3:01 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
