General Interest

BREAKTHROUGH RACE
Won the qualification race at the 2019 World Championships where he showed that he could compete among the cross-country skiing elite. (nordicmag.info, 20 Feb 2019)

DUAL NATIONALITY
Born in France but his parents are Belgian so he has dual nationality with Belgium and France. Changed his nationality from FRA to BEL for season 2015/16. (ski-nordique.net, 7 Nov 2017; fis.ski.com, 16 Nov 2021)

ONLY BELGIAN ON TOUR
He is now the only Belgian athlete in the pro tour admitting that because of the lack of snow, cross-country will never be a big sport in Belgium. “I think the Belgian public doesn't know this sport. But that is why I am involved with the Belgian ski federation, to help to structure it and spread the knowledge I gained in France." (vismaskiclassics.com, 11 Feb 2020)
