Sandrine Tas (born 7 September 1995) is a Belgian inline skater, speed skater and cyclist. Tas grew up less than a kilometer away from the ZRC Skeeler Mundialtrack in , Ostend, Belgium. She won multiple inline-skating European and world championship medals. As Inline-skating is not an Olympic sport, Tas followed in the footsteps of many an inline-skater, most notably Belgium's Olympic gold medal speed skater Bart Swings, and reinvented herself as a speed skater.
Career Inline speed skating Tas quickly established herself as a force to be reckoned with, winning a.o. 4 titles at the 2014 junior Inline Speed Skating World Championships in Rosario, Argentina in November 2014. A year later already, in November 2015 she won her first World Champion titles, winning the women's track 1000 meters sprint and the marathon at the 2015 Inline Speed Skating World Championships in Kaohsiung, Chinese Taipei. Tas won six medals at the 2017 World Games in Wrocław, Poland punctuated by a gold medal in the Track Women's Sprint 1,000m. Between 2015 and 2019, Tas racked up no less than 17 European titles on the inline skating circuit.
Speed skating Aiming to become an Olympic athlete, Tas switched from inline skating to speed skating in 2018 at age 23. Focusing initially on the shorter speed skating distances, Tas qualified for the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, China and participated in the women's 500 metres, 1000 metres, 1500 metres, and mass start with a 24th place in that last event as her best result. After those Olympics, Tas switched to the longer speed skating distances and qualified for the women's 3000 metres, 5000 metres and mass start at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy. In the runup to those 2026 Winter Olympics, Tas won two silver medals at the 2026 European Speed Skating Championships, one at the 3000m event and another at the team sprint.
Road cycling Tas is also good on a bike. In June 2024 she won Belgium's national road time trial title for elite riders without a contract, in 2025 she finished 8th in Belgium's national road cycling championship race and later that year, in December 2025, she signed a contract with women's professional cycling team Lotto–Intermarché Ladies, based in Belgium.
