“I want to be there again in LA. I feel that I have not yet made the most of it, so to everyone who asks if I am retiring: no, that is still a bit too early,” says Naert.
During the Olympic Games in Paris last year, Naert had a disappointing day due to illness, resulting in him finishing 61st. He saw the subsequent World Championship in Tokyo as a second chance, but a calf injury slowed him down and he finished seventeenth.
