Churandy Martina - Chief Smile Officer

National hero Churandy Martina (1984) is a sprinter who has competed in the Olympics four times, even making it to various finals in London and in Rio. Churandy is the Dutch record holder on the 60, 100 and 200 meters sprint and the 4 x 100 m relay. Churandy is known for his charismatic smile and positive spirit. As our Chief Smile Officer, he conveys these qualities to Blue Bay’s entire team. In addition, he helps take sports events at Blue Bay to the next level. This makes us very happy, as Churandy himself would put it.
