Margo Degraef
I am a motivated person who likes to keep busy, you can usually find me with a full diary and a smile on my face. I became an ambassador for Etixx this year, but I have been using the products for much longer. I often suffer from energy dips and I have found the solution to this in Etixx’s products, including the Sport Gummies and the Energy Sport Bars. But, looking forward to the Recovery products afterwards can also increase motivation during training. The Etixx ambassadors team is a great group and I am proud to be a part of it!

Athletics
I am 22 years old and I have been practicing athletics since I was 12 years old. I am a qualified primary school teacher since June 2021 and I try to combine sport and work as much as possible. I am hard-working and determined, and I always give my best whether it is in training, in competition or even in my personal life. Apart from athletics, I also enjoy cooking, baking and walking.

Bobsleigh
After a (youth) career in athletics, I switched to the Belgian bobsleigh team. After a few years, I retrained from brakewoman to pilot, while also completing my Masters in physiotherapy. In 2015, I was employed part-time by Sport Flanders as pilot and I am now about to start my 10th bobsleigh season. Qualifying for the Olympic Winter Games in 2018 was an amazing feeling and made me dream of doing more in 2022, in Beijing. I now practise my sport full time, while also being a proud Godmother to my nephew, the apple of my eye. I am very proud to be part of the Etixx ambassadors team, a super-talented and motivated group of athletes and sports enthusiasts. Being supported by such a professional company with good-quality, clean products gives me an extra push to achieve my dream of a top result in Beijing 2022!

I am a 25-year-old long-distance runner and a member of the Runners' Lab Athletics Team. For me, running is not only a sport but also a passion and especially a lifestyle. I will always do everything to push my limits and make all my dreams come true! My ultimate goal is to participate in the Olympic Games at the marathon. In addition to my athlete career, I also have a master's degree in "Business Engineering" in 2021.
