Loena Hendrickx’s wait for a major figure skating gold medal ended Saturday with victory at the European figure skating championships. Hendrickx had placed second at the world and European championships but finally finished top of the podium with a high-energy program to Beyoncé and Madonna’s “Break My Soul (The Queens Remix)”. Hendrickx finished by striking a pose on the rink wall in front of the judges. Hendrickx won Belgium’s first European figure skating gold for 77 years in a close contest with defending champion Anastasiia Gubanova of Georgia and another Belgian, 17-year-old Nina Pinzarrone, as all three medalists skated near-flawless free skates. Hendrickx already had a five-point lead from the short program and finished on a total 213.25 points, but had to wait for Gubanova and Pinzarrone to skate before she could celebrate. Gubanova scored 206.52 and Pinzarrone 202.29. Lucrezia Beccari and Matteo Guarise won the pairs gold medal for Italy on Thursday.
