What has been your favorite country to race in? Colombia, and Italy ...and your favorite race? The World Championships What would you say were your best qualities as a speed skater? Perseverance, and a good sprint at the end (CadoMotus: Qualities that would serve any skater well!) Any motto that you live and skate by? It's good to love to win, but it's better to hate to lose. So what kind of hours is the Junior World Champ putting into his training? During the winter months, 12-13 hours, and in summer, 15-16. Your best skating memory so far? My first individual gold medal at the European Championships... as a Cadet Boy. ...and your worst? Definitely giving up during a race. You had a huge year in 2008, so what goes at the top of your CV right now? 2008: 3x Junior World Champion - Gijón, Spain Winner World on Wheels A-race - Vorden, Netherlands Multiple Junior European Champion How do you feel about racing with CadoMotus in 2009? I’m very satisfied with my decision to work with CadoMotus in the next years. I think the CadoMotus equipment is of very good quality. How is your racing schedule looking for 2009 as a team? We will mainly race the bigger track tournaments, like Trois Pistes, Gross Gerau and the Skate-Off in Heerde. Next to that we’ll race the bigger marathons in France, Germany and Holland. Quite a program, so how do you prepare for a season like that? We are planning to go to Wouter Hebbrecht in the USA to train as hard as possible over there. With our skate club we go to Italy to prepare for the following tournaments Trois Pistes (France) and Gross Gerau (Germany). The rest of the preparation will be together with my CadoMotus team mates Maarten and Ferre and our trainer Jelle Spruyt (older brother of Ferre Spruyt and former Belgian World Team member). After such success in your final year as a Junior, what are your goals now as a first-year Senior going into 2009? With this team, I think we should be capable of winning some big races. Personally, I want to win a big race, marathon or track and make it to the top 5 during the European championships in my home country. What is most exciting for you about speed skating? I think it is the finish sprint and the speed you get out of that and the team work which is necessary to get there. CadoMotus is ‘Pure Skating’... what does that mean to you? That they are fully dedicated to bring inline skating equipment to another level, as they are with skating in general. Bart Swings in WC CaliFerre Spruyt - a profile and interview(Dec. 15, 2008)
What's your favourite country to race in? Colombia What do you think are your best qualities as a skater? Good sprint, and good endurance A motto that you skate or live by? You can learn more from a critique than from a compliment What would you say is your favorite race? Points/elimination on the track  Ferre is closely followed by Belgian teammate Kwinten Tas at the European Road Championship How many hours of training do you put in? During the winter months, 12 hours per week, and in summer 16 hours What is your best skating memory? Winning silver in the Relay during the European Championships this year ...and what about your worst memory? During the Europeans in Portugal, 2007, I dislocated my shoulder on the second day of racing What would go in your resume right now? 2008
Very happy. I’m very positive about the future here, together with Maarten and Bart (Swings), my training partners. The professional approach of this team is definitely a step forward. Next year will be a year with many opportunities to improve. What is your own racing schedule looking like? We’ll pick the bigger marathons in Holland, Germany and France. Also important to us are the track tournaments. How do you plan on preparing for the coming season? During winter times we spend most of the time on our skates and we also bike to make up many endurance kilometers. We also skate indoors to focus on technique. In February and March I’ll be in the US, and after that in Italy for final pre-season preparations.  Ferre Spruyt leads on the indoor What goals have you set yourself for the near future? I think we should win races with this team... and personally, I’d like medals during European and World Championships. What is it about inline speed skating that makes it such a great sport? It’s the incredible speed the pack creates and the variety of races, I think... and I like the travelling. CadoMotus is ‘Pure Skating’... what does that mean to you? Skating is CadoMotus’ core business. It’s all about perfecting the skaters equipment. Pure Skating News: Ferre Spruyt - a profile and interview Maarten Swings - a profile and interview(Feb. 06, 2009)

All kinds What do you think is your best quality as an athlete? My endurance, and perseverance What kind of training hours are you logging right now?

Making the national team for the 2008 World championships ...and your worst? Racing in the rain in Berlin, 2007 What is at the top of your skating CV right now? 2008 Belgian Champion Silver - European Championship Relay, Road 2008 Silver - German Blade Challenge, Hamburg How do you feel about your move to CadoMotus for 2009? I’m very satisfied with this choice. CadoMotus provides us with very professional accompaniment and gives Ferre, Bart and myself the opportunity to stay together as a team. That means that we can prepare perfectly for the racing season. Also the long term vision we both have with each other and the perfect skating gear means we don’t have to worry about anything. What events are on the calendar for you? The first big race we will attend is Trois Pistes. Gross Gerau and Heerde will follow, besides the bigger marathons of France, Germany and Holland. Later the season I hope I’ll be in the national team for Europeans and Worlds What does you preparation for 2009 look like? During winter times I mainly do longer sessions for endurance, power training and indoor skating. Jelle Spruyt (older brother of Ferre and former Belgian National Representative) is our trainer. In February we’ll be heading to the USA to train with Wouter Hebbrecht. After that we’ll be at Renee Hildebrand's clinic in Belgium, and we’ve planned a club stage in Italy. So we’ll be prepared nicely for the coming races.  Maarten Swings (right) together with Ferre Spruyt Training with the Belgian team in the days before Worlds '08 in Gijon, Spain What is the best thing about inline skating? For me that is the combination of power, endurance, technique and tactics. And, although rolling at high speeds, it’s a free and smooth kind of motion. What are your future goals? I want to improve compared to last season and that the team, with my help, does well. For the future I just want to keep improving, as well physical as mental. After we’ll see where that ends. What is Pure Skating according to you? CadoMotus focuses completely on skating, to get it to a higher level, as well as concerning equipment as the way they present it to the World. |
