The European champion Loena Hendrickx will not participate in the Grand Prix series. She had already withdrawn from the Grand Prix in France, which was held last weekend, because she needed extra time to prepare for upcoming events. Now, she also announces that she will not participate in the Finlandia Trophy, a Grand Prix in Helsinki in two weeks.
According to Hendrickx, she had a difficult start to the season. “I had a good summer and training was going well. But despite that, I felt there was no progress. As the season approached, the pressure increased. And that worked against me,” she explained.
After the first competition of the season in early October in Shanghai, where she placed third, she decided to take a step back. “Back to basics and build up step by step. We’ve been doing this for a while now and I see there is progress.”
However, Hendrickx has decided that the competition in Helsinki is too soon and decided to withdrew. She will participate in the Golden Spin in Zagreb from December 4th to 7th. For the first time in weeks, she is training well again, Hendrickx reports. She aims to defend her European title in Tallinn at the end of January.
