    Olympic Speed-skater Sandrine Tas Switches To Cycling, Set For Debut At La Fleche Wallonne Femmes

    La Fleche Wallonne Femmes: Belgian Olympian Sandrine Tas is embarking on a new phase in her athletic career, shifting from speed skating to professional road cycling, with her first race scheduled at the esteemed La Fleche Wallonne Femmes on Wednesday.

    Tas recently competed at the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics, delivering a strong performance, just missing a medal. She finished seventh in the 3000m and was only 0.13 seconds away from reaching the podium in the 5000m, ultimately placing fourth. Her results also included sixth place in the team pursuit and 13th in the mass start, followed by a repeat of her fourth-place finish in the 5000m at the World Championships.

    After a demanding winter season, Tas took a break to recover before turning her attention to cycling, where she will compete for Lotto Intermarche Ladies. “After my skating season, I took some time to rest and recharge. Since the opening weekend, I’ve been following the races on TV, and it definitely gives you the urge to be out there in the peloton yourself,” Tas said in a team press release.
