LOUIS UYTTENHOVE

Hi, my name is Louis Uyttenhove and this is my eighth year as a triathlete. Some people describe me as a perfectionist because I’m not easily satisfied. I have big goals in my mind but I don’t tell them out loud, except for one: I want to inspire people to start with triathlon. I started with triathlon because in my eyes it looked like a challenging sport and my greatest idol is Marten Van Riel.
