General Interest

VLOGGING
Has a YouTube channel with Dutch short track skater Steyn Land called Broezn. "Broezn means going fast, accelerating. In our vlogs we do fun tricks. Like skating blindfolded in Thialf. But we don't go crazy. Safety comes above all." (sportnieuws.nl, 14 Jan 2020)

CHILDHOOD HERO
He has looked up to Korean short track skater Kwak Yoon-Gy since he had a photo taken with him in 2012. Four years later, when they met again by chance at a Samsung sponsor meeting, they got another photo and hoped to do the same again at the World Cup in Beijing in 2021. “In Beijing, it was once again the intention to shoot a picture together. Due to all the hustle and bustle of a World Cup weekend, it didn't happen. Now it has become a goal. Oh yes, and of course to beat him and all the Koreans too.” (schaatsen.nl, 27 Oct 2021)

BUSINESS OWNER
Set up his own business called 'Sokkie' in 2020, making and selling dyed socks. "I always wanted to start something for myself but competing in elite sports, it is pretty difficult. Then I tried to work out what can be done from home and came up with sock colouring and selling. I'm doing all this from my apartment in Heerenveen." (isu.org)

Milestones

Gold medallist in 5000m relay at the 2021 World Cup in Beijing. Two-time World Cup silver medallist, and winner of one bronze.
