Here is Cyrille’s reaction: When I took note of the competition, I said “This is for me!” I love Belgian people and with my friends we always have fun by taking the Belgian accent. For the anecdote, the ski resort where I usually go with my friends thought we were real Belgian people and since then we ski with the Belgiam flag on our back, as you can see on the picture I posted. I am very happy to come back to Brussels and to take part of the Main Event.
