Ibtisam Gardabou

Modern pentathlon & athletics

When the alarm clock goes off in the morning, I always look forward to going to train. Exercise is the highlight of my day. As a former gymnast and current endurance athlete, I got involved in an Olympic project with an ambitious goal: to be the first Belgian to qualify for the Olympic Games in the modern pentathlon. Since then, every day has become even more meaningful.

Richard Groeneveld

Triathlon and fitness

Over 8 years of an active life. Set a sports goal after being quite ill for a long time. This is a hobby that got out of hand and enjoys being active. Combining family time and sports time makes for intense workouts.

Dries Matthys

Triathlon

I am Dries Matthys or 'Matitser' aka 'The Cathedral of Wezemaal' and I extremely enjoy doing sports. I've been doing triathlon for 15 years and I hope to add at least another 15 years to that. And if it's up to me, like to race for another 15 years as a pro against the best triathletes in the world on the biggest stage in our sport: Ironman. Tip of the day: Life is more than just sport, don't forget to laugh with your mates and do something crazy once in a while :)
