Margo Van Puyvelde
I am a 400 m runner and Belgian Cheetah (4x400m) with a few years of bad luck and injuries behind me. The Etixx products help during everyday recoveries and provide the necessary supplements for a top athlete, but also helped during my rehabilitation. The Etixx range is very broad and comprises everything, for every possible sports discipline. As a top athlete, you are also checked regularly for doping, so it’s great that. with Etixx, I don't have any concerns about that with their ‘Informed Sport’ quality label.
My discipline
Athletics -> Atletiekclub Oudenaarde (ASVO) and Vlaamse atletiekliga (VAL)
Number of hours’ training per week
18 hours
"I don't actually have a quota, I just
want to discover my full potential and
continue to enjoy everything."

Trail running and ultrarunning
Enjoying life is very important to me so family time, travelling, foodies but definitely running are my priorities. I can also combine my running story with the rest so that is definitely a plus.

Bobsleigh
After a (youth) career in athletics, I switched to the Belgian bobsleigh team. After a few years, I retrained from brakewoman to pilot, while also completing my Masters in physiotherapy. In 2015, I was employed part-time by Sport Flanders as pilot and I am now about to start my 10th bobsleigh season. Qualifying for the Olympic Winter Games in 2018 was an amazing feeling and made me dream of doing more in 2022, in Beijing. I now practise my sport full time, while also being a proud Godmother to my nephew, the apple of my eye. I am very proud to be part of the Etixx ambassadors team, a super-talented and motivated group of athletes and sports enthusiasts. Being supported by such a professional company with good-quality, clean products gives me an extra push to achieve my dream of a top result in Beijing 2022!
