For Cuyle, the World Cup is a new chapter after an eventful year. At the Olympic Games in Paris he reached the finals in the rings, but an injury kept him sidelined for a while. He is now back on track: he recently won a World Cup.
“I learned a lot in Paris about dealing with stress and the public,” says Cuyle. “That was all new at the time, but I will now take that experience with me to the World Cup. The competition is strong, but if I perform my exercise perfectly, a top eight is certainly possible.”
