Coach

Gilles Gentges [national, brother], BEL

Sporting relatives

His brother Gilles represented Belgium in artistic gymnastics at the world championships in 2009 and 2010, as well as the 2015 European Games in Baku, Azerbaijan. He has also served as coach of the Belgium men's national artistic gymnastics team. (rtbf.be, 16 Apr 2023; SportsDeskOnline, 17 Sep 2019; lameuse.be, 07 Jun 2016)

Injuries

He tore the meniscus in his knee while competing at the 2021 World Challenge Cup event in Koper, Slovenia. He was still able to compete at the 2021 World Championships in Kitakyushu, Japan, but he had to undergo surgery in March 2022. Following the procedure he continued to train his upper body but it led to overtraining and in July 2022 he tore two ligaments in one of his wrists. He returned to competition in October 2022. (Instagram profile, 07 Oct 2022, 20 Jul 2022; Facebook page, 30 Mar 2022; YouTube channel, 22 Mar 2022)

He underwent surgery after breaking his nose in a fall during training in October 2020. He also suffered a concussion in the incident. He returned to training two days after the operation. (intlgymnast.com, 11 Apr 2021; vedia.be, 09 Nov 2020)

Elbow pain caused him to withdraw from the 2019 European Championships. (rtbf.be, 09 Apr 2019)

Reason for taking up the sport

He followed his brother Gilles into the sport. "I was exposed to sports from childhood, and had taken up some disciplines in parallel with gymnastics. However, I never found the same sensations in other sports and that's why I decided to devote most of my time to gymnastics."

Milestones

He became the first male artistic gymnast representing Belgium to win a medal at the European championships when he claimed silver in pommel horse at the 2023 edition of the tournament in Antalya, Turkiye. (SportsDeskOnline, 29 Aug 2023; europeangymnastics.com, 04 May 2023; ffgym.be, 15 Apr 2023)
