The Birth of Team B & J Willems
In 2019, Jolanda started with the Ladies League, an initiative that further refined her knowledge and skills in pigeon racing. After two years, they decided to join forces as Team B & J Willems, a choice that has since led to impressive achievements.
The Winner from Chalons en Champagne
The victory in the race from Chalons en Champagne was nothing short of spectacular. The first pigeon, a beautiful hen with the ring number NL.23-7081211, arrived at the lofts in Darp at 12:51:14. This pigeon covered the distance at an incredible speed of 1381 meters per minute, a performance that attests to her exceptional qualities and the careful training by Bert and Jolanda.
This winning pigeon is the result of a strategic pairing between pigeons from the Golden Heremans Collection and New Generation Pigeons. This combination has clearly paid off, as not only did they win first place, but ten of the sixteen entered pigeons won prizes. The final result speaks volumes: 1 - 16 - 258 - 767 - 821 - 1053 - 1639 - 1709 - 1837 - 2531.
The Significance of This Victory
The victory of Team B & J Willems is not just an achievement; it is proof of their dedication, hard work, and the deep bond they have built with their pigeons. Winning first place against a field of 9391 pigeons is an accomplishment that every pigeon enthusiast dreams of. It is a recognition of their skill and knowledge, as well as their ability to make the right decisions at crucial moments.
A Bright Future
For Bert and Jolanda, this victory is just the beginning. With their combined passion and expertise, they have shown that they are a force to be reckoned with in the pigeon racing world. The pigeon racing community eagerly awaits their future achievements.
Bert and Jolanda, heartfelt congratulations on this splendid victory. Winning first place against such a large number of pigeons is an extraordinary accomplishment and something to be proud of. We look forward to your next success story!
