Additional information
STREET DIVING
In 2019 he participated at the first National X-Diving Championships in Amsterdam, Netherlands. He became the first winner of the event, organised by Indoor Cliff Diving and the Royal Dutch Swimming Federation [KNZB], in which athletes competed in a freestyle branch of diving. "It was nice to hear the responses when I got home. Maybe I am a daredevil and people appreciate that, but I like doing everything involved with somersaults. I love it. My heart lies with the large trampoline, but if there is time left for this kind of fun thing, I say, 'Why not?'" (gympower.nl, 28 May 2019)
