BIOGRAPHY
Because of asthma Kim Meylemans has lived in Königssee for 9 years. In this beautiful German vilage she was introduced to the world of skeleton. Kim was a young soccer player, as one of the teachers said: “maybe we could try something else with you”. So, he asked her to try skeleton and she never looked back.
Now living in Belgium, she has represented Belgium a first time at the 2018 Olympics and is working hard to bring back a medal in 2022 and 2026. Besides competing she also hopes to inspire young athletes to follow in her footsteps.

“In skeleton a hundredth of a second can decide on winning a medal or taking 4th so every detail can make an important difference. I strongly believe the 4Gold products can give me that extra edge when fighting for medals. I really trust in their scientific approach and it gives me a sense of calmness to know my recovery is well taken care off.”
