Richard Groeneveld

Running, Cycling

Cosy person from Brabant who loves outdoor sports and nowadays finds peace at a nice private spot on a campsite in the countryside. Running and getting out on my racing bike is an integral part of my life. Cooking good food is also a big hobby of mine.

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!

Lacrosse

My name is Thomas Haitsma, and I am the starting lacrosse goalie for the Men's Dutch national team. With over 15 years of experience in lacrosse and the past 7 years on the national team, I have had the honor of competing in 2 World Championships and 1 European qualifier. As lacrosse prepares for its debut in the 2028 Olympics in LA, I am dedicated to intense training and relentless pursuit of excellence to secure my spot and represent the Netherlands on this historic stage. My journey is driven by a passion for the sport and an unwavering commitment to being the best athlete I can be.
