Stan Niesten is one of three male athletes who will represent the Netherlands at the European Cross Country Championships in Turin. The athlete from Beverwijk became Dutch champion in this part last Sunday.
The 26-year-old Niesten will form the Dutch team in Italy together with Filmon Tesfu (Den Helder) and Mike Foppen. The European Cross Country Championships will take place on Monday 12 December.
Last Sunday became Niesten after a blood-curdling race Dutch champion. De Beverwijker said afterwards that he had high hopes for an invitation to the European final battle: “I handed over my business card and actually expect a call from the national coach or the Athletics Union,” said Niesten.
