This is Lynn van den Berg, a talented and driven athlete from the Netherlands. Lynn started athletics at the age of eight and has developed into a versatile runner with a strong focus on medium distances.

In doing so, she has already achieved great results, including a 5th place in the 150 meters at the 2024 D Games and a bronze medal in the 1500 meters at the 2026 National Indoor U16 Championships.

Lynn is known for her discipline, perseverance and strong competitive mentality. She is an athlete who is always willing to work hard and gives her all during competitions to get the most out of herself.

“My goal is to become one of the top middle-distance runners in the Netherlands, and I believe that training and competing in the United States will help me reach that level.” – Lynn van den Berg
