Career
Kalee was a gymnast when she was young. In 2016, she registered for the Talent Day in Almere to discover other sports. During a test on a Wattbike, Kalee's results allowed her to be invited to the national training center in Papendal, where she finally joined the track cycling section in 2018. In her first season, she won her first gold medal in the 500 meters at the national championships in Apeldoorn, in her age category.[1]
In 2022, at the age of 20, Kalee became the Dutch champion in the 500 meters and came second in the sprint. In 2023, she won the national title in both disciplines. At the European U23 Championships (under 23) in 2024, she won the bronze medal in the 500 meters. In October, she made her debut at the Track World Championships and won the silver with Hetty van de Wouw, Steffie van der Peet and Kyra Lamberink.[2][3]
