Jelle Geens

I am Jelle Geens, and I participate in triathlon. I am the first and still the only Belgian to ever win a World Triathlon Championship Series. Of the three disciplines, my favorite is running, especially long-distance tempo runs.

My discipline

Triathlon --> Triatlon Vlaanderen

Number of hours’ training per week

30 h

"In it to win it"

My favourite Etixx products

I use the Double Carb Energy Gel; it has a delicious taste and contains a high amount of carbs, which is beneficial for long training sessions.

My greatest sporting achievements

Double winner of the World Triathlon Championship Series
Podium finisher at the European Championships
And two-time 4th place finisher at the World Championship

Jente Hauttekeete

Athletics (All-Around)

I am an athlete who is not easily satisfied with a performance. I always want to do better than the previous race and keep improving my personal records. I like to learn quickly. Sometimes I try to imitate or learn a technique by watching other athletes. I am very motivated during training and I don't give up easily, but sometimes I dare to let my head hang down when things don't go as I had hoped. I am always open to humour and jokes on and off the slopes.

CrossFit

32 year old sports addict, I love to challenge myself and others to their max capacity and see them succeed and grow.

Robin Hendrix

Athletics (5000m and 10000m)

I am a distance runner of 28 years old and I live in Kapelle-op-den-Bos. I started taking part in international championships at the age of 22, and the Olympic Games in Tokyo were the biggest event I ever had the privilege of taking part in. Until last year, I was still studying for my bachelor's degree in architecture at the LUCA school of arts in Brussels. Since this year, I have been practising my sport professionally under contract at Topsport Belgian Defence. I dream of achieving a top 10 place at a World Championship or Olympic Games.
