Jordy Vonk, Sylt
At the World Cup stop on Sylt, Jordy Vonk again showed his quality in the foil‑slalom field. In the standings after several eliminations he sat in 9th place. On one of the semi‑finals he even won his heat — unfortunately the wind died off before all races could be completed. While he didn't reach the final podium at this event, maintaining a Top 10 in a world‑tour event like Sylt is a solid result, especially in a field stacked with the world's best.
Behind every such performance, sponsors play a crucial role. Vonk is supported by several brands. Among them is the company Pure Soul BV, which backs him not only in competitive ambitions but also in his off‑water mission.
One of the causes he and his sponsors highlight is Plastic Fischer — an initiative dedicated to intercepting plastic waste in rivers before it flows into the oceans. Through his platform and results like those achieved at Sylt, Vonk helps raise awareness for clean‑ocean efforts and the broader link between wind‑driven sport and environmental responsibility.
