Loena Hendrickx was able to participate in the figure skating closing gala.
“It was great to be able to be there!” launched the 22-year-old Antwerper, eighth at these Beijing Games. “It was a surprise and a joy for me to be invited, especially to the Games, especially since I had never had this experience at a World Cup…”
During this traditional gala, Loena (22) of course rubbed shoulders with the best skaters in the world.
“During rehearsals, everyone had a compatriot, except me. But I still got to know other skaters. The best were present and it was fantastic to be with them. Now I can’t wait to go home and hug my family…”
