The Belgian Tornados also won plenty of medals in 2024, including gold at the World Indoor Championships (Jonathan Sacoor, Dylan Borlée, Christian Iguacel and Alexander Doom) and gold at the European Championships (Jonathan Sacoor, Robin Vanderbemden, Dylan Borlée and Alexander Doom ). At the Olympic Games in Paris, they just missed the podium in fourth place (Jonathan Sacoor, Dylan Borlée, Kevin Borlée and Florent Mabille). The Tornados previously received the recognition in 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2022.
The Belgian Cats, who were crowned European champions in 2023, gave basketball-loving Belgium an unforgettable summer. Under the impetus of spearhead Emma Meesseman, the Belgian basketball women played some heroic matches at the Olympic Games in France. We just missed out on getting a medal, finishing fourth. The Cats previously won the award in 2020 and 2023.
