The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Gerbrand Smidt finished 889th of 1,119 men in the Open division at Maastricht 2026, in 1:40:17.
On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 4:11. A harder second half: 3:31 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Maastricht 2026 and Heerenveen 2026 were 1:26 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
