What a fantastic weekend it was during the Dutch pole-and-Line Championships 2019 (end of June). Despite the beautiful weather, many sports enthusiasts came to encourage the athletes. The enthusiastic booing was regularly heard in the entrance hall where the Flexmonkey popup store was located.
With insane performances and a completely new category of Aerial hope, the public was treated to the ever-increasing level of sportsmen and women. Remarkable was that the amount of double entrees. More than other years there were several athletes who competed in more than one category. Maud Rietbroek, Zara Melis and Nayla Aarts provided both a Pole sports and an Artistic Pole performance. To the question how difficult it is to prepare in two disciplines, answer Zara Melis: "I enjoyed being on the internship twice and showing my self-made choreographers. I especially liked Artistic Pole because I could really tell a story there. There are also fewer rules. I want to be back in two categories next year, only I have to plan it better. Now it gave me quite a lot of stress because I was also in my rehearsal week (test week). Because I spent so much time preparing for the NK, I got too low numbers. Fortunately, thanks to a rematch, I'm over."

That's how you hear a story behind all the effort being shown on that one weekend. Many athletes have to leave things, invest time and money and sometimes pay something in other areas. If you want to join the NK Polesport make sure you are serious and also dare to turn in to get the best out of yourself. Other athletes can talk about this.

Finally, there was one athlete who took the crown! The job, which year-old participated in no less than 3 disciplines! Then, of course, we're talking about Flexmonkey brandambassodor Demi Brama. She showed a powerful Pole sport act and rolled on to Artistic Pole. A sweet and expressive performance in which she and her living prop/prop left the audience in an 'aaah' and 'oooh'. We can proudly say that she has completed all three of her performances from start to finish with the same porfessionality and energy. Finished to perfection and with facial expressions of an accomplished actress. Demi Brama is now 3rd on the world ranking list for Aerial Hope and in 6th place within Artistic Pole.
