He won the allround bronze medal at the 2018 World Allround Speed Skating Championships in Amsterdam.[2]

Biography

Bosker is the son of parents with a skating career. His mother Henriët Bosker-van der Meer (1967) was Dutch all-round champion in 1989. Father Ronald Bosker also participated in the Dutch championships and finished seventh that same year. After immigrating to Switzerland, both his parents represented Switzerland during the 2003/2004 season onwards. Bosker was born in Switzerland. At the age of 14 he moved to the Netherlands without his parents and stayed with a host family so that he could develop his potential in speed skating.
