I currently train in Leuven, and during a typical training week I do six to 10 hours of swimming, six to 10 hours of cycling, and two to four hours of running. My parents have had a big influence on my sporting career; they both competed in Olympic kayaking. I am a participant of the Be Gold project run by the Flemish sporting government in cooperation with the Belgian Olympic Committee.

My triathlon goal is to win an Olympic medal in triathlon.
