Coach
Michiel Vertongen [national]
Start sporting career
She began tumbling at about age 11.
Reason for taking up the sport
"At first it looked like I was going to focus more on artistic gymnastics, more on the apparatus side. But it was clear that I was highly explosive and had to rely more on my strength than on my sheer agility. So a switch to tumbling was obvious."
Trainings
"I train about 12 hours a week."
Philosophy / Motto
"It is important to always enjoy training, and to do it for yourself. If you enjoy doing it, you will remain much more motivated and everything will go just a little bit better. Together with your coach and fellow gymnasts you are a team, and encouraging and helping each other is very important." (gymfed.be, 04 Aug 2023)
