Here’s a translation of Loena Hendrickx’s comments made for Sporza.
“Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva has been handed a four-year doping suspension by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). As a result, the Russian team – including Valieva – will lose their gold medal at the Olympic Games in Beijing. Additionally, her results at the European Championships will be invalidated, potentially leading to Loena Hendrickx receiving a bronze medal from the 2021 European Championship.
At the 2021 European Championship, Loena Hendrickx finished fourth. Valieva won gold at that time, ahead of two other Russian skaters. Since all results of Kamila Valieva since the date of the Russian Nationals will be nullified, Loena can soon expect a bronze medal.
“It’s a bit mixed feelings,” Hendrickx responds. “But the bronze medal is still a signal for a doping-free sport and that we strive for it.”
“I have always believed in her, but now I support the decision. A clean sport is extremely important,” said Hendrickx.”

Good god, what IS wrong with you?
P.S. And don’t even with the under-rotating … the hallmark of an Eteri skater.
Her words are a signal that she is just arrogant stupid bitch. I remember her toadying to Russian girls favor. Now she is ISU sweetheart who was given the European 2024 gold completely undeserved, she can under rotate her jumps as much as she wants because tech panel never calls it, nor other of her mistakes, and she has the impudence to preach something about a “clean sport”. She is a fckng fake spoiled star.
