Last weekend the Dutch Open took place with no less than 1400 participating athletes from all over the world. With a world event just around the corner, this is the best annual event for me. Unfortunately, I was unable to participate due to an injury. As a result, I will not be participating in the Belgian Open either.

However, I was able to contribute as a volunteer to a successful event by assisting the referees. This role has broadened my insight into competition regulation, and it was especially nice to experience the perspective of the referees.

In addition, we were able to support the Association in creating Social Media content in the run-up to this event.

Despite not being able to participate, I was fortunately able to fully experience the event. On to a speedy recovery so that I can return to the mats as an athlete as soon as possible!

P.s.: See below the link to a Reel that was partly made by us as selection members!

Last weekend we traveled to Antalya to participate in the Turkish Open 2025. Unfortunately I sustained an injury which forced me to withdraw from this event due to the medical staff. Nevertheless I enjoyed the beautiful event and I am really looking forward to the next event (namely the Dutch Open!)

Today, I am proud to announce that I have officially and successfully completed my final bachelor's course by receiving a positive evaluation for my Bachelor’s Thesis.

Over the past few months, I have explored the key factors and perspectives that the judiciary most often considers when determining whether a collection of individuals qualifies as a group in cases of tort liability. My research has contributed to a deeper understanding of tort law in a group context, highlighting the challenges judges face when making definitive black-and-white decisions about group membership.

Meanwhile, I have also begun my Master’s in International Law & Public Governance, and I am excited to expand my legal knowledge in an international context!
