Urologist & Endurance Athlete Sport has been an integral part of my life from an early age. Beginning with swimming and volleyball in my youth, I continued this passion through secondary school, focusing on sports sciences. Today, as a practicing urologist and surgeon, I find balance and rejuvenation through running and cycling after demanding days in the hospital. I am proud to serve as a team doctor for Alpecin–Deceuninck, where I merge my medical expertise with my enthusiasm for cycling. Personally, I’ve completed several granfondos, notably finishing as the fourth woman in the Cannibale. Over the past two years, I’ve embraced gravel biking, enjoying the freedom it offers in nature. Running remains a cornerstone of my routine. Since 2025, I’ve been a member of the ASICS FrontRunner team, embodying the philosophy “Sound Mind, Sound Body.” With three marathons completed and a personal best of 3:45, I’ve recently ventured into trail running and am preparing for my first trail race this summer. For me, sport is more than just physical activity—it’s therapy, passion, and a way of life.

Duathlon/Cross-duathlon

I am Thibaut De Smet, 25 years old, and I was born into a real sports family! I started with cyclocross, but I have been doing duathlon for 4 years. The great thing about duathlon is that you can combine two sports, so it’s never boring.

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!
