Lucas Keijzer: From Holland Beker Winner to TeamNL Rowing

Lucas Keijzer, who took home the prestigious Holland Beker last year, is quickly becoming one of the standout names in Dutch rowing. Thanks to his strong results, he’s now been selected to join TeamNL Rowing.

In June 2024, Keijzer won the hollandbeker at the Bosbaan, beating some big names like Jelle Bakker and Pieter van Veen. He followed that up with a bronze medal at the 2025 NK Klein, finishing just behind Olympic medalist Simon van Dorp.

In the lead-up to the NK Klein, Keijzer was invited to train with TeamNL, alongside top talents from the Talent TeamNL program. That opportunity gave him the chance to train intensively with some of the country’s best rowers — a key step in sharpening his skills and pushing his level even higher.

Lucas isn’t one to hold back. After winning the Holland Beker, he famously said: “I’m putting it all on red.” That bold, fearless mindset has defined his journey so far — and it’s paying off.

TeamNL will be back at the Bosbaan for the Holland Beker on June 28–29,

See you there!
