Stijn Laenen and Andrew Haegen were the first pair to break the FKT set 10 years earlier by Gavin Raubenheimer. Stijn went on to become the unofficial keeper of the DGT attempts and successes. He has in one way or another, been a part of every attempt, successful or failed, since he and Andrew first broke Gavin's record. He shares with us tactics, tips and strategies gained over the last 13 years.
