‘Proud father' Jacques Brinkman lauds son Thierry's leadership in earning long-awaited Dutch glory
Kolkata: This Father's Day will be quite special for Jacques Brinkman. It's not every year that your son wins a gold medal at the Olympics and his son Thierry did exactly that at the Paris Games when he led the Netherlands hockey team to a gold — a first after 25 years. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Incidentally, the last time the Dutch side won the gold at the Sydney Olympics, Jacques played a pivotal role as they beat South Korea in the final via penalty shoot-outs. But seeing his son lead the team to the top of the podium after beating Germany in the final was something even more special for Jacques. "It was fantastic to see your child achieve the highest possible goal in sports. Being surrounded by all the family and friends made it unbelievable. After the winning shoot-out, when they secured the gold medal, there were definitely tears — happy tears," said Jacques, a two-time Olympic gold medalist, during an exclusive interview with TOI. While Jacques did have a huge influence on Thierry becoming a hockey player, he took a step back after a while and left it to the coaches to train him properly. "I helped out until Thierry was about 14 or 15. After that, I stepped back to support my other children — Tim and Julie. Thierry is the oldest, so I was more involved in his early years, but then shifted focus as they grew," he added. Whatever he did worked wonders and Jacques is extremely more than proud of what Thierry has become today. "I'm a proud father, of course, but his leadership as a captain is something special. During the celebrations in the Netherlands, Thierry gave a speech to his teammates, and it really showed how naturally he leads," he added. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Jacques was also impressed with the way Thierry handled the situation following the Olympic final when a brawl broke out after Duco Telgenkamp of the Netherlands scored past German keeper Jean-Paul Danneberg and performed a shushing gesture in his face, before appearing to slap his helmet. Besides his performance for the national team, Jacques also followed his son's exploits in the Hockey India League where Thierry played for the Kalinga Lancers. While Lancers failed to make it to the knockouts, Jacques is quite hopeful that the tournament will certainly change the landscape of Indian hockey in the coming years. "The difference between top teams is very small. Winning two Olympic bronzes is a fantastic achievement. India have great players like Harmanpreet Singh, who's excellent with penalty corners. Their goalkeeper (PR Sreejesh) retired recently, which is always a big change. But they're definitely back at the top. The Hockey India League has helped with that," added Brinkman senior. While many believe that will indeed be the case, for now, all eyes are on the World Cup set to take place in the Netherlands and Belgium in a year's time — where Jacques is hopeful of yet another Dutch victory.

Temba Bavuma's Picture Celebrating World Test Championship Win With His Son Melts Internet
Last Updated: Temba Bavuma led South Africa to their first ever ICC title triumph after 1998 as they beat Australia in the WTC final. There will be uncountable memorable moments from South Africa's historic triumph at the Lord's where they dethroned Australia to win the ICC World Test Championship but the cutest of them all will certainly be the one where Temba Bavuma celebrated the title win with his little one. Pictures of South Africa captain Bavuma soaking up the atmosphere at the Lord's along with his son are going viral on social medial. Father's Day came early for Temba Bavuma 🥹🫶 #SAvAUS #WTC25 — ICC (@ICC) June 14, 2025 South Africa have become the third different team to win WTC after the inaugural champions New Zealand and Australia. This is their first ICC title win after 1998. Bavuma played a key role in the five-wicket win, scoring a gutsy half-century in the successful chase of 282. The 35-year-old hurt his hamstring during the third day's play but kept on batting to take his team closer. 'It has been a special couple of days, felt like we were back home in South Africa with the support we have had," said Bavuma after the match. 'Special moment for us as a team, special moment back home, will take a couple of days to sink in." 'The energy was there, we have been wanting this as a team, we have been knocking on the door, we have gone through the heartache, the disappointments, seen it with the past players and the sun is on us. Hopefully this is one of many," he added. South Africa, a first-time WTC finalist, won the toss and opted to bowl first against the reigning champions. Australia overcame early jolts to be bowled out for 212 thanks to half-centuries from Beau Webster and Steven Smith. Kagiso Rabada was the pick of the South African bowlers, finishing with a five-wicket haul. South Africa endured a batting collapse in response and were bowled out for 138. Despite a setback with the bat, the Rabada & Co. pushed Australians on the backfoot reducing them to 73/7. However, Mitchell Starc (58) and Alex Carey (43) helped Australia set a target of 282 which South Africa chased down with ease thanks to a memorable century from Aiden Markram. First Published:
