Team Belgium's post on Loena's SP.



And Loena's own post.

There are so many good to great skaters in this competition that Loena needs a monster free skate to get into the top 5. She has a great free skate so it's doable.

Good luck to Loena in the free!

Loena's post after the free skate. Well done to her for making the top ten!

Why Loena appeared so late at the list of Worlds entries...

An article by the ISU on Loena:

Belgium's Loena Hendrickx feels motivated for more.

New post on insta. Loena's looking good!



She's posted an interview in her ig stories, though, which says she has a groin injury.

She fell in training a week and a half ago, tore a muscle in her groin, and has only been back on the ice since Tuesday. She's no longer aiming to finish top five at Worlds, but will be happy if she makes the top ten.

It's a pity. And I thought that if there is anything good in the suspension of our skaters, it is the opportunity for Loena to get a medal at the World Championships. A person should still receive some kind of reward for many years of hard work. But even that probably won't happen now...

this is really sad, she had a real shot at a medal. very sad she can't finish her season the way she wants and wishing her a full recovery.

Is Loena still competing @ Worlds, or has she withdrawn due to the injury? Wishing her a full & speedy recovery!

This disastrous worlds is getting even worse. Like most of us wd thought Loena had a real chance at the podium and an outside chance at the gold without the Russians.

The judges love her and rightfully so. this is a terrible time for an injury.

Loena has very strong legs. I hope she is careful not to overdo it. She could still skate world class at worlds but is it worth it? If she tears up her groin to the point where she needs surgery she puts next season in jeopardy.

I really wish for a lot of reasons they would have just rescheduled worlds for September it would still be 2022 and you would have a much better world championships than we do now. It would be an amazing way to kick off the next season and end is it season an end this season. But they are going forward with a world championship that has disaster written all over it.

how is she looking with her injury?

how is she looking with her injury?

Practice notes by Jackie Wong:
2A, runthru (marked triples, 2A), 3F, 3Lz3T, 3Lz2T

So relatively clean, but she probably does only a necessary minimum of jumps (at least compared to others).

 

[Vemvane]

Happy with her small silver.

Happy with her small silver.

She's in striking distance of gold even with a groin injury. Well done to Loena.
