The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:43:00 at Maastricht 2026 put Axel Cortvriendt 934th of 1,119 men in the Open division.
The runs carried this race: faster than 36% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 7% on the stations. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 9:37. The race faded late: the second half went 10:54 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Maastricht 2026 and Mechelen 2026 were 1:47 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
