Lennert Vanlathem (born 22 February 2000) is a Belgian road and track para-cyclist.[1]
Vanlathem was born in Zottegem, Belgium, grew up in Gelrode and lives in Oostduinkerke. When Vanlathem was 16 years old, he suffered a thrombosis that resulted in hemiplegia on the left side of his body. After a year and a half of rehabilitation, Vanlathem picked up para-cycling. Having started out on tricycles, he switched over to the faster two-wheelers.[2]
