olgamikutina 🇺🇦


I was born in Ukraine. I spent my entire childhood up to the age of 13 there. There I started my career as a figure skater and received my first primary education. Incredible people live in this country, my relatives, acquaintances and friends. It's unbearable to see what's going on there now. It's terrible that thousands of innocent people are dying. War is always destruction and pain. I am insanely sad and hurt to see the destruction of my homeland. This is an incredible country, with its own individual history, culture, traditions, kind, helpful people. Thanks to the entire army and the people who are now defending it and trying to defend the freedom and sovereignty of Ukraine. And also to everyone who supports Ukraine in other countries, goes to various demonstrations, organizes humanitarian aid, donations, etc. I really hope that this terrible war will soon be stopped. After all, what could be better than a peaceful sky and security?

 

Glory to Ukraine!🇺🇦

Jestem przeciwko wojnie!

ISU article on Loena Hendrickx:
Belgium's Loena Hendrickx feels motivated for more
9 March 2022

Loena came back motivated following her experience in Beijing. “I’m sure to continue for four more years, because the love and passion for the sport is enormous. Also I still believe in clean sport,” she pointed out.

 

Her eighth place finish in Beijing that resulted in an Olympic diploma is another reason to be proud and happy. “I went home after the closing ceremony. My two oldest brothers and my mom and dad organized a party for all the people who supported me, so I got a lot of letters, flowers and presents. So nice to feel how proud everyone was for my results at the Olympics,” Loena said. The Skater as well met Belgian King Philippe and Queen Mathilde in a reception for Belgian’s top Olympians. The King and Queen recognized the efforts of the athletes and posed with them for photos.

 

The Belgian Champion was invited to the shows of “Art on Ice” in Switzerland following the Olympic Games and love that experience, but now she is back to work. “I’m preparing myself for Worlds at my home rinks in Tilburg and Eindhoven both in the Netherlands as well as in Deurne in Belgium,” she shared. However, right now her training sessions are limited after she injured her groin a few days ago.

 

Nevertheless, Loena is looking forward to Montpellier. “I kind of see each competition as a new start and I want to perform as well as possible. It is not easy to perform always clean, but I really enjoy skating and I think that is the most important. I’m happy to skate my programs one more time (at the World Championships) and this time there will be watching a lot of Belgian people,” she explained.

 

Following the World Championships, Loena is planning for a nice vacation to rest her body and mind. Her favorite place for a vacation is “somewhere where it is warm, with sun and a beach, the sea – everything to relax.”

 

Wishing her a speedy recovery :smiley-angelic001:
