Hendrickx shines at European figure skating championships
Loena Hendrickx, looking to make up for the heartbreak of 2023, eased into the lead after Thursday's short program at the European Figure Skating Championships.
The Belgian was the favourite for gold 12 months ago but was stunned by Georgia's Anastasiia Gubanova and had to settle for second place after twice falling in the free skate section.
However, on Thursday, the 24-year-old world championship bronze medallist grabbed the initiative with a score of 74.66 points.
Compatriot Nina Pinzarrone was second on 69.70 while Gubanova was in third place with 68.96.
