For many years, Twan Bongers dominated the toughest marathon races with his own outstanding colony, built on the legendary Aarden, Van Wanroy, and Jellema bloodlines, which Twan himself expertly moulded into true marathon champions. Although he no longer competes actively himself, Bongers pigeons continue to excel at the very highest level of international competition. Once again, this was proven in the legendary Barcelona International, where descendants of his renowned breeding family once more raced to the very front.
