Athlete of the Year Hilversym

6 april 2018

Gooie en Eemlander (newspaper) 6 april 2018:

Track cyclist Carolien van Herrikhuyzen (41) and archer Willem Beuken (53) were voted best Hilversum athletes last year. The ‘sports team 2017’ was no surprise: again for the third year in a row this title went to rugby club Hilversum.

The national champion has now become a ‘certainty’ at this annual election at the Raadhuis in Hilversum, like footballer Davy Klaassen that was a few years in a row, until he made the (until now) unsuccessful transfer from Ajax to Everton. Last year the prize went to Ruben Assmann (jiu jitsu) and now to Willem Beuken, member of the Handbowschutterij Hilversum. With the men’s team he conquered the European title in the recurve class.

Van Herrikhuyzen sold in 2017 a medal on the cycling track: three times gold at the World Championships, twice gold and a silver medal at the European Championships and at the Masters Games in New Zealand she even won four gold medals.

There were also prizes to wrestler Tyrone Sterkenburg (talent) and the jiu-jitsuduo Quintin Hagen / Sancho Senn from Basel (talent team). In both cases, that election was due to EK bronze. Golfer Bob-Jan Dietrich was named ‘Hilversums special athlete 2017’. He was part of the European Championships for golfers with a physical disability.

Thanks!!

Wow, all your support has been overwhelming!
After my breakdown about the expenes to enter the World Championships, I was advised to start a crowdfunding campaign.
The road to the World Championships isn’t always easy. Sport is something you CAN do and that’s a gift, a privilege. I’m grateful and glad I can. If you want and you can, you’ll get excited, loose and you’ll have positive tension. You’ll be intrinsically motivated and then you’re performing and surprising yourself. That’s when you’re mentally strong!

Sometimes it’s mentally difficult, sometimes physical. This year it was mostly financial difficult. Partly because the World Championships were so far away.

That’s why I’m more than grateful to you. Thanks to your support I got the chance to take three jerseys and a bronze medal home. In total you donated € 1,082, – for which 1082 times thanks!
