In Bjugn, Norway, in 2014, Roest became World Junior Champion Allround, and he successfully defended his world title in 2015 in Warsaw, Poland.[1][2]

On 12 November, he was part of the Dutch team that won the team pursuit event at the first World Cup of the 2016/17 season.[3][4]

Roest was awarded the KNSB Cup for his 1500 m performance at the KNSB Cup in October 2016.[5]

On 13 February 2018, Roest won a silver medal at the 2018 Winter Olympics for the Men's 1500 metres, behind compatriot Kjeld Nuis, with a time of 1:44.86. He also won an Olympic bronze medal in the team pursuit event.

As of 3 March 2019, Roest was the world record holder of the allround big combination classification, having amassed 145.561 points at the World Allround 2019 Championship in Calgary. His record was later surpassed by Jordan Stolz in 2024.
