But anyway, IJsbrand/Ijsbrand kind of flopped on yesterday's marathon... Yes, it really is IJsbrand The 'ij' is considered to be one letter in Dutch and so both are written in capital form in a name or at the beginning of a sentence (when a sentence start with 'IJshockey' for example, ice hockey). dcro 1 If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!
