Belgian Cheetahs prepare for European Athletics Championships in Birmingham
The Belgian relay team, better known as the Belgian Cheetahs, has arrived in Birmingham for the upcoming European Athletics Championships. Preparations are proceeding under favorable conditions, despite some personnel changes within the selection.
The team will have to do without Naomi Van den Broeck during this tournament. She has officially withdrawn from the competitions. Despite this loss, the atmosphere in the group remains positive and the focus is entirely on the upcoming performances on the track.
The ambitions within the team are clear. The runners are speaking of achievable goals for the tournament. The atmosphere is focused and the team is looking forward to competing against the European elite in their discipline.
Expectations are also high on an individual level. For instance, athlete Paulien Couckuyt dares to dream out loud of a medal. The coming days will show whether the Belgian relay runners can live up to their ambitions on the international stage.
