A successful double premiere!
For Molly Taminiaux, this competition had a very special flavor. In addition to wearing the Diamex colors, she was also making her debut with the GroomTeam Belgium. This added pressure was transformed into pure excellence.
A sparkling victory in the Standard Poodle Open!
Competing in the highly demanding Standard Poodle Open category, Molly demonstrated outstanding technical expertise. Her meticulous work seduced the judges, enabling her to take first place in her category.
But it didn’t stop there. Up against the winners in the other categories, Molly and her magnificent Poodle pulled out all the stops to win the supreme title: Best in Show! An incredible accolade, confirming her status as one of Europe’s leading grooming talents.
An immense source of pride!
The 2Groom 2026 competition will undoubtedly remain a memorable moment, marked by an absolutely extraordinary performance. It was here that Molly Taminiaux not only shone with her talent, but above all conquered her very first Best in Show, a resounding achievement.
This victory fills us in the Diamex Team with immense pride. But we’re more than convinced that this is just the beginning! Given Molly’s meteoric rise and total commitment to her art, a long series of successes awaits her, and we can’t wait to celebrate them together!
Team spirit above all!
