Team Novus, founded in 2022, is a young and ambitious team with a fresh, innovative approach.

Training is important, but the response to training is even more important. This is only possible if the body and mind are healthy and sufficiently recovered. Virtuoos helps us to optimize this

But Team Novus is about more than just performance on the ice. The team is committed to promoting the international growth of speed skating, with special attention for emerging skating nations. “Our ambition is simply to have at least eight athletes from different countries on the starting line at the Olympic Games in Milan,” says performance coach Michel Butter.

Health and recovery are also key pillars of the team’s strategy. “Training is important, but how the body responds to training is even more crucial. That only works with an athlete who is healthy and well-recovered. Virtuoos helps us optimise that,” Butter explains.

Nutrition expert Bo van der Werff also highlights the value of targeted supplementation in elite sports: “There are many essential nutrients for athletes. Depending on the goal, different vitamins and minerals can be applied.” We’re proud to partner with Team Novus and look forward to continuing to make strides together, both on and off the ice.
