Anne Tauber

I’m Anne, 29 years old, and sport is my greatest passion—something that has played an important role in my life since childhood. As a child, I explored various sports, and I firmly believe that versatility not only makes you a better athlete but also a more well-rounded person. Since 2017, I have been fully dedicated to mountain biking (Cross Country Olympic discipline). It’s an incredible sport that pushes your endurance, strength, and technique to the limit. In 2021, my childhood dream came true when I had the opportunity to compete in the Olympic Games in Tokyo. My goal is simple: to enjoy the sport every day and continuously challenge myself to improve.

Simon Verherstraeten

Athletics (100m & 200m)

I’m a sprinter specialized in the 100m and 200m. Explosiveness and strength are key factors in my sport. With the help of Etixx, I can sharpen these aspects with the goal of breaking the magical 10 and 20-second barriers in the 100m and 200m.

Jacolien Ruizendaal

Running Athletics

I’m Jacolien, and I’m almost 42 years old. I live with my daughter, my partner, and his son. I love running and do it five times a week. In addition, I do strength training twice a week and also enjoy bouldering. I work 32 hours a week and create several running schedules as well. I really enjoy that—motivating people to bring out the best in themselves, getting them moving, and helping them achieve goals they once thought were impossible.
