This spring, Dieter Coussement (Member of DHC Kortrijk and Athletics club FLAC Oostkamp) set a new Belgian marathon record. In Utrecht, he improved the Belgian marathon record to 2:50.35.
His progress since the European Championships in Odense (2023) and the World Championships in Taiwan (2024) is particularly remarkable.
Therefore, the BDC board has unanimously decided to select Dieter for the Deaflymics.
However, he will need to find additional financial support to make his participation possible.
We hope our Belgian supporters will support him in his mission: he hopes to participate in the Deaflympics in Tokyo for the very first time in his career.
