The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Kaj Smeets finished in the top 10% of the field at Gent 2025, in 1:01:01 for 13th of 1,428 men in the Open division.
The wall balls were the standout, 3:05 quicker than the median and 17th of 1,428. Stronger after halfway: 2:25 better against the middle of the field than before it. Quick through the roxzone: 4:16, ahead of 99% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Gent 2025 and Maastricht 2025 were 5:35 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
