Unfortunately
a weightlifter in Belgium cannot count on a lot of financial
support. It is even worse, there is practically no money at
all for
weightlifting. Even the lifting equipment like shoes and training suits
have to
be bought by oneself. As a possible contender for the Olympics I am
fortunate to
be able to count on the Belgian Olympic Committee for
refundment of the majority of the
expenses made for participation in European and World championships.
Therefore
there is no question of full-time training as a professional
like in many other countries. So, to be able to measure with the
professional
lifters one really depends on the help of dedicated
sympathizers.
In my case,
I want to thank those without whom I would never have reached
this level;
my family because of their mental, financial and practical support from
the
start,
my employer AVC, who makes it possible for me to work flexible on
half-time
base,
my sponsors ASICS, SANAS, La MARIPOSA.
As of
1/04/2007 I am temporarily employed by BLOSO,
for full time training in order to qualify for the Olympics. I am very
grateful for this opportunity.
Anyone
willing to support me to attain the Olympics of 2008 can take

Everyone knows the
importance of proper supplementation in topsport.
However one's got to be careful about the quality of the supplements.
There
have been circulating warnings from the Olympic committees and
federations for
supplements containing forbidden substances.
That's why I use the
high quality SANAS-supplementation, developed in a
scientific
lab and also distributed in pharmacies.
