KAUNAS, Lithuania — Loena Hendrickx's wait for a major figure skating gold medal has ended with victory at the European figure skating championships. Hendrickx won Belgium's first European figure skating gold for 77 years in a close contest with defending champion Anastasiia Gubanova of Georgia and 17-year-old Belgian Nina Pinzarrone as all three medalists skated near-flawless free skates. Hendrickx finished on a total 213.25 points. Gubanova scored 206.52 and Pinzarrone 202.29. Charlene Guignard and Marco Fabbri retained their ice dance title for the second year running for Italy's second gold medal of the championships.
