Last week we had the privilege of attending the Paralympic Games as a travel partner together with Team Para Atletiek and Basketball Experience NL. A special experience in which we have seen how perseverance, teamwork and performance come together at the highest level. A true source of inspiration for all of us. #EMboost #TeamParaAtletiek #ParalympischeSpelen #InspiringPerformance #SamenGroeiend #Inclusiviteit
Road to Paris 🎖️ Let's go, Maurits! 💪
Securing boxing's place in the Olympic Games programme is the top priority for our organisation, but our ambitions don't end there. At WORLD BOXING, we are committed to expanding our efforts in the development of disability boxing, building on the remarkable work already done by dedicated enthusiasts, clubs, and national boxing federations worldwide.
It was very cool that we as Zeeuw&Zeeuw were able to be present at the farewell event of our wheelchair basketball players towards the Paralympic Games in Paris. In particular, we wish our ambassadors Bo Kramer and Mariska Beijer - PLY the best of luck! #trotsesponsor #parijs #paralympischespelen #BEN #zeeuwenzeeuw
The 2024 Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift is looking abroad for the first time. After starting in Rotterdam, the women’s peloton will ride across the Netherlands for two full days, divided into three stages: Rotterdam – The Hague, Dordrecht – Rotterdam and an individual time trial through the heart of Rotterdam. Read more about the stages here.
With the gold fresh around his neck, Roy van den Berg is already looking four years ahead: "You have to pull me off the bike". Will we see this 'Bullet Train' again in LA? It is an eagerness that we discover in many athletes within TeamNL. As a Chef, that's really enjoyable.
Yesterday, together with Secretary General Simon Toulson, we had the pleasure of meeting Andriy Kotelnyk, Sydney 2000 silver medallist and former WBA World Champion from Ukraine.
The boxing tournament in Paris is reaching its decisive stage. The preliminary rounds featured highly competitive matchups, along with two days of medal events. After a one-day pause, the tournament will continue with four more days of competition, culminating in the crowning of new stars in our sport.
I was honoured to be invited to the National Olympic Committee of Mongolia, where its Secretary General and Mongolia's only boxing Olympic Champion, Enkhbatyn Badar-Uugan, awarded me the prestigious Olympic Glory medal for contributions to the Olympic Movement.
The fact that we all feel the excitement about the competition that will get underway in 10 days time is also a reminder of the precarious situation our sport faces. As things stand today, Paris 2024 could be the last ever Olympic Boxing tournament. WORLD BOXING was set up precisely to avoid this situation from happening, and its number one priority is to ensure boxing remains at the heart of the Olympic Movement. #TimeForWORLDBOXING #putitonencyclopedia
I believe that World Boxing and the Mongolian Boxing Federation will continue to srenghten our cooperation. Stay tuned as exciting news is coming soon.
These were high-profile events featuring Olympic medalists from Tokyo and top contenders for Paris 2024 medals. Congratulations to the Danish Boxing Association and the Brazilian Boxing Confederation for their efforts in developing Olympic-style boxing!
