Thibaut De Smet

Duathlon & Crossduathlon

Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard

I am Thibaut De Smet, and I was born into a real sports family! I started with cyclocross and now focus on duathlon. The great thing about duathlon is that you can combine two sports, so it’s never boring.
