Gwen Van de Merwe strikes hard at Quiévrain 5,305 pigeons: 1-2-3-4-5 etc… Also the 4 fastest against 15,000 pigeons

05 May 2026

Indeed, we know… we have mentioned it before, but we would like to emphasize it once again. When Peter had to take a serious step back from pigeon racing for medical reasons, it was a blessing for him that his daughter Gwen – supported by her grandfather – is now fully focused on the sport.

Last season, she outclassed strong competition on several races, and this trend has continued in 2026.

In recent weeks, Gwen achieved the following top results:

19-04-2026 Bierges 118 km 4,904 pigeons
3-5-17-18-19-29-34-35-47-53-66-77-80-87-88-90-91 etc. 80 from 91

25-04-2026 Quiévrain 170 km 5,305 pigeons
1-2-3-4-5-13-16-21-24-25-27-28-31-44-45-53-60-62-63-64-65-67-68-93-95 etc. 80 from 91

These were also the 4 fastest out of 15,000 pigeons.

Here are also the pedigree cards of these winning champions:
