Sports were instilled in me from a young age, and soon I, like my brother and sister, got involved in athletics. Long-distance running is a form of relaxation therapy for me, even though my goal is to reach the top. As a dietitian, I traded the nurturing spoon for the Etixx gels, which I hope, just like the nurturing spoon, will help me grow big—but in sports.


My disciplines

Cross-Country 5km, 10km -> Royal Excelsior Sports Club de Bruxelles


Number of hours’ training per week

"Stay calm, enjoy and believe in yourself"

My favourite Etixx products

The Isotonic Drink is one of my favorites, as it helps me maintain my hydration balance. And the PRO LINE Recovery Shake, which is essential for proper recovery after intense training.

Triathlon

I used to be an elite triathlete. Raced many international races and loved to train very hard. In 2022 I got injured and we still can’t find the cure for my several bone fractures that appear every time i try to run. Even though I still can’t race, I keep trainning hard every day so that I can come back the day we find the origin of my health problem. I love my sport and I know I’ll make it somehow!

Cycling

I am Nanoi Van Wettere, 18 years old, and I grew up in the world of cycling. Although I briefly explored the world of dance as a young girl, I quickly left it behind when I asked for a racing bike for my first communion. Since then, I've been passionate about cycling for 10 years. Through this sport, I've had the chance to experience many unique moments and travel the world. In addition to cycling, I am also studying nutrition and dietetics.
