EYES ON TOKYO
In 2019 he decided to take a break from his studies at the University of Washington in the United States of America to focus on training for the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo. "It is unbelievable how great the sports offer in Washington is. If you have to race, the teachers take that into account. I took exams at airports. That could not be otherwise, because we were travelling. Sport is one thing there, it's fun." (gohuskies.com, 01 Jan 2020; telegraaf.nl, 27 Aug 2019)
