BORN TO WIN

OG Heroes

Elke sporter, trainer of club deelt een passie. Een brandend verlangen. Een aanhoudende drang om koste wat kost iets te bereiken. Het is de brandstof om hun doelen en dromen na te jagen en uit te laten komen. Maak kennis met de OG Heroes! We geven ze een podium om hun drive en passie te delen, maar ook om hun verbinding met OG te vertellen.

"Work hard, play hard"

Noa Diorgina Man

Birthdate 11 december 2004
Birthplace Delft
Discipline Freerunning

Noa Diorgina Man started surfing at a young age. When an acquaintance from the surf school opened a freerun school, she went to try it. Noa was seen as a girl with a lot of energy, which she could put to good use in this sport. She was always running and climbing. No one could keep up with her. Once she started freerunning, she didn't want to stop. Her goal is to motivate young women to participate in the sport.

Freerunning is being outside, being one with your surroundings. As a freerunner you travel a lot to discover the best spots. We freerunners are careful of nature, because that is our play-ground. I am happy to work together with OG. Together we contribute our bit to people and nature. OG makes sure that I travel green! They also support me financially, because free running is not yet an Olympic sport and I have to pay for all the races myself. In addition, OG automatically helps to put our sport on the map.

A quote who you are or where you stand
Work hard, Play hard is Noa's life motto. Work hard, but also fully enjoy the road to her goals.

Highlight career
Junior World Champion 2021, Gold and Silver medal at the 2022 WorldGames in style and speed. 3x silver World Cup.

Pre-competition habit
Noa tries to put herself in super focus before the competition, she turns everything off and likes to listen to music while doing so. When the race starts Noa hypes up the crowd and takes their energy into her run. This gives Noa the extra power she needs.

Dream
Olympic gold. Freerunner is on the verge of becoming an Olympian. Noa tries to contribute as much as she can by using social media to inspire others and show them what a great sport/lifestyle this is. She hopes to contribute to the professionalization of this sport with her experiences and victories.

Hobbies
Fashion. Noa loves fashion and trends. She loves to occasionally trade in her sportswear for a good outfit. In addition, she likes to do some dancing with my friends. An evening out is also something she enjoys. On the other hand, she also likes to walk along the beach or watch movies with her boyfriend who is also a high-level wave surfer.

Guilty pleasure
For Noa that is Reese's chocolate with peanut butter filling. Fortunately it was also at the World Games in America and she was able to taste all the variations.

Career
In 2021, Noa achieved a major milestone in her career: she got to compete in Red Bull Art of Motion, something she had been dreaming of since she was ten. And then it got even better: Noa won Red. Bull Art of Motion 2021. From that moment on, her career took off at a rapid pace.
