He won his first Dutch title when he was 13.
Van Rijsselberghe on the Dutch RS:X won the gold medals[3] at the 2012 Olympics[4][5] in Weymouth, and the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.
Van Rijsselberghe was a student at CIOS. Van Rijsselberghe is married and has two daughters.
Van Rijsselberghe dominated the competition completely by finishing first among the 38 competitors in 7 out of 10 races, second twice and third once.[6] After the ninth race, he had accumulated a sufficient lead over the second placed Nick Dempsey to be certain to win the gold medal – as long as he competed in the remaining races – irrespective of his results in the 10th race and in the medal race.
