Enjoy the distance means something different to everyone. For Roos it means getting the best out of herself. Every day again. She trains daily, with the aim of realising her ambitions of becoming a professional athlete. And she is well on track. She talks about how she never loses sight of enjoyment during her intensive training.

As the youngest daughter of a sporty family, Roos grew up near the water in Amsterdam. She started iceskating at an early age. Going to school on iceskates was just as natural as going by bike. It was not long before she began to skate in competitions, and now she trains daily with her team.
To keep her fitness up in the summer,
she soon took up cycling. She liked it that much
that she started competing in races to
challenge herself in the summer as well.

From the moment the ice has melted, she is out riding her bike on a daily basis. And she enjoys her summer to the fullest. Her sisters Riejanne and Femke Markus are on their way to making their top sport dreams come true in cycling, and Roos is only too eager to follow in their footsteps.
Bringing out the best in yourself means much more to Roos than just performing. She gets satisfaction from winning races, but always tries to have fun as well. That is just as important to her.
