Jelle Hoste from Izegem goes to the Crossfit World Cup

“Crossfit is a sport in which several sports are combined. A combination of gymnastics, athletics, weightlifting, strongman… Different exercises are taken from all those sports and combined into one workout that you perform against the time at a high intensity,” explains Jelle.

“Not complete enough yet”

The native of Izegem finished fourth at the last European Championship and thus qualified for the world championship. Jelle has focused his entire life on the sport, although winning is not immediately possible according to him. “I don’t think I’m complete enough to win yet. I’m sure of that, but there are some events that I will be able to do very well,” concludes Hoste.
