FATHER'S INFLUENCE
Her father Ronald said he often avoids watching her race because he cannot help himself from offering her advice. "If I see something, I want to interfere and say something, but I know I shouldn't. Therefore, it's better if I don't watch her sometimes." Karolien, however, says she enjoys it when he watches her race. "It is actually quite good when he watches. I may feel more pressure, but I know that I can always call on him for advice. He tells me things that he did wrong when he rowed." (volkskrant.nl, 09 Sep 2018)
