Kyani Joosten

Kyani Joosten is a Belgian pole vaulter, who combines top sport with her studies in medicine, a combination that demands discipline, focus and determination. With a great passion for her sport and a strong drive to constantly improve, what started out as a pleasurable pastime in both gymnastics and athletics has since grown into a burning ambition to continually challenge herself and to set the bar ever higher in her chosen discipline of pole vaulting.

Over the years, she has won multiple Belgian titles in the U16, U18 and U20 age categories. Last winter, she underlined her continuing progress by breaking the Belgian U20 indoor record with a vault of 4m20. Moreover, this achievement also granted her automatic qualification for the U20 World Championships, to be held in Oregon (USA) later this summer.

Kyani has also gained valuable international experience through her participation in competitions like the European Youth Olympic Festival and the U18 and U20 European Championships, which allowed her to measure herself against the best in Europe in her age category.

Kyani is typified by a combination of focus, determination and love for the process. She derives great satisfaction not only from her competitive performances, but also from her training and the small improvements that she notices as she continues to develop her abilities.

Why does Kyani opt for TGA?

• I opt for The Green Athlete because their vision perfectly matches my own. I attach great importance to a healthy diet and like to cook with pure and honest ingredients, free from all unnecessary additives.
• What I like most of all about TGA is the fact that their products are based on this same approach. They are clean, natural and only contain the things that my body really needs in order to perform at a high level and recover quickly afterwards.
• With TGA, I know that I am supporting my body in a way that is 100% in keeping with who I am as a person and as an athlete.
• As an athlete, I want to get the best out of myself every day and with the support of TGA I am able to do this in a conscious and healthy manner.

Kyani’s favourites

Electrolytes

During training and competition, you lose more than just fluids. The electrolytes help me to maintain my hydration levels, so that I can keep on performing at a constant level.

Whey Protein Isolate

After heavy training sessions, good recovery is essential. The whey isolate gives added support to my muscles and helps them to recover more quickly. At the same time, the isolate is a perfect fit with my preference for pure and high-quality nutrition.

Isotonic Drink

During my training, I use the isotonic drink to maintain my energy flow and fluid balance at optimal levels. This helps me to keep my performance consistent for long periods, especially during intensive sessions, and ensures that I get tired less quickly.
