HERITAGE
His father is from Cote d'Ivoire and his mother is from the Netherlands. "I've always been told to be proud of who you are. I have something that others don't. And I think people are more likely to remember my foreign name than other skaters." (volkskrant.nl, 19 Feb 2021)

"My father is from Africa, so he is not really used to skating. So our mother went out on the ice with us, the little ones. That's when we had fun."
