Loena Hendrickx has not yet decided whether she will continue figure skating after the Winter Olympics. On the show “De Tafel van Gert,” she said she will keep training for now, but will not participate in the World Championships next month. Here’s a translation of her comments posted on Sporza.
At the Winter Olympics, Loena Hendrickx had not yet made up her mind, but together with her team, she has now decided to skip the World Figure Skating Championships in Prague next month.
“I had to peak very early this season to qualify for the Olympics,” she explained on “De Tafel van Gert” on Play.
“With those injuries as well, we thought it was best not to do Worlds and to focus on getting fit again.”
Today, Hendrickx was back on the ice for the first time since Milan. “But I feel my body needs rest.”
Does that mean she has decided to continue after all? “I haven’t really been able to think about that yet,” said the 26-year-old Hendrickx.
“I think it’s something I’ll eventually feel. But for now, I’m definitely going to keep training.”
The World Figure Skating Championships will take place from March 24 to 29. Nina Pinzarrone is expected to participate.
