Loena’s Story

LOENA’S STORY

Hi, I’m Loena, thank you for visiting my website. I was born in 1999 in Belgium. My coach (and brother) used to be an Olympic skater as well. With his talent and experience he’s the best coach I could ever wish for. I was practically born and raised at the ice rink because of 2 other older brothers who were fanatic ice-Hockey players. So, my parents spent lots of time near an ice rink back in the day, dragging me along as a baby and toddler. No wonder I ended up on skates as well

On my way to...

Once You’ve Tasted the Olympics… You Just Want More

In 2017, my biggest dream came true: I qualified for the PyeongChang 2018 Winter Olympics. That moment—stepping onto Olympic ice for the first time—was something I’ll never forget. And sharing that experience with my brother Jorik, who qualified as well, made it even more special. It was a family dream come to life.

Since then, I’ve been hungry for more. The Beijing 2022 Olympics were just as unforgettable, and every time I compete at that level, I feel the fire inside me grow stronger.

People often call me a talented figure skater. What do I think? Honestly, I don’t know. What I do know is this: I pour my heart, soul, and countless hours into every training session. And it never feels like a burden—because I truly love it. Being on the ice feels natural. It feels like home. There’s this constant drive in me, this need to skate. I can’t imagine life without it.

Now, all eyes are on the future. And for me, the next big goal is clear:
The 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan-Cortina.

This season is about building, pushing, growing—and getting ready to shine in Italy.

Big hug,
Loena
