Triathlon

I am a passionate triathlete with the SMO-Scott team. I race triathlon in the short distance and spend most of the year in Girona (Spain) to develop myself as an athlete and prepare for competitions. Besides triathlon, I am also studying Accounting-Taxation at Hogent.

Field Hockey

I am the type of athlete who thrives on training, embracing even the toughest physical sessions with a positive mindset. I see every challenge as an investment in my future success, knowing that each effort brings me closer to my goals. Beyond my individual training, I have a deep passion for collective sports, where teamwork and shared experiences create unforgettable moments. Whether pushing my limits solo or connecting with others in a team setting, I find joy and purpose in every aspect of my athletic journey.

Athletics

I am Simon Debognies, a professional distance runner with the Ministry of Defence and the Runners' Lab Athletics Team. I am currently specialising in the 5000 metres and the 10000 metres. In the longer term, I want to make the step to the marathon. The running bug has been with me since I was a child, and I caught it during my first school cross-country run in the park at the end of my street. Immediately afterwards, I joined the local athletics club and the starting shot was fired for a career as an athlete. Many worn-out running shoes later, I have Belgian and European medals in my pocket, as well as experience at international championships. Now, with a lot of passion and ambition, I am working towards my next goals.
