This is the story of Lotte (30), the skating friend who died in an accident to whom Loena Hendrickx dedicated her gold medal: “She recently had a child and was going to get married next month. Now we have to cancel everything”

Immediately after Loena Hendrickx (24) won gold at the European Championships on Saturday, she dedicated her title to a skating friend who had an accident on Wednesday. The family of Lotte Van den Eynde (30) was completely surprised, but takes comfort from the beautiful gesture. “Lotte herself would have liked this very much. Really chic from Loena.” Inland skipper Lotte was sailing with her boyfriend on Wednesday when she had an accident. Her family is now telling the story. “We are going to tell her daughter later who her beautiful mother was.”
