General
FAMILY RELAY
His brothers Kevin, Dylan, and Rayane have also represented Belgium in 4x400m relay races, often competing in the same team as him. "When one of us is hurt or cannot compete, that can be hard for us. We have to focus on athletics but we want our brothers to be in good shape as well. Or sometimes we'll be in a final together and one performs but the other is seventh or eighth which leads to mixed feelings and makes it hard to enjoy. An all-Borlee relay team in the future would be amazing. [Rayane] is still really young. He's good, he wants to be fast, and he knows that he has a lot of work to do. But if one day we could run together on a 4x400m at a European or world championships, that would be amazing." (worldathletics.org, 03 Sep 2019)

FLANDERS SWITCH
In December 2020, along with four other athletes including his brothers Kevin and Dylan, he announced his switch from the Belgian Francaphone Athletics League [LBFA] to the Flemish Athletics League [VAL] in Belgium. "Every detail counts and it is important for us to be able to work in a healthy, positive and constructive environment. We have always competed at the highest level and we think joining the VAL can reinforce that even more, especially for the Games [2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo] next year." (sporza.be, 11 Dec 2020)

He and his brothers Kevin and Dylan made history by running in the 4x400m relay at the 2013 World Championships in Moscow, Russia. It was the first time three brothers had competed together in the same race at the world championships. They were joined in the race by Antoine Gillet, finishing third in their heat.
