I have been looking around for an Entries / Results Page for the Flemish Championships, but have not had any luck yet. However, I did find some statements about the Championships on Facebook.

This was the farewell competition for Laura Balanean and Lisa van Genck, who are both retiring.

Laura hasn't put up a separate statement (at least not one that I have access to), but she did put the following up as a reply to Kevin's statement.

Lisa van Genck

Na 11 jaar wedstrijden te hebben geschaatst heb ik vandaag mijn allerlaatste achter de rug. Heel blij met mijn prestatie!
Ik wil vooral mijn ouders bedanken voor de steun en de tijd. Dan Alicia die van het begin achter mij stond en mij heel wat heeft geleerd op en naast het ijs! Ook Kevin heeft me geholpen om te bereiken wat ik nu kan, dankje Jenna voor de mooie laatste kuren en Manon voor de top off ice! Over de jaren heb ik veel hulp gehad van verschillende mensen waaronder Chloé, Caroline, Kaat en Sandy!
Ik wil iedereen bedanken om in mij te geloven en om mij steunen!
Hierbij neem ik afscheid van het competitief schaatsen maar je zult me wel nog op het ijs zien!

Translation: After 11 years of skating, I had my very last one today. Very happy with my performance!
I would especially like to thank my parents for the support and the time. Then Alicia who was behind me from the beginning and taught me a lot on and next to the ice! Kevin Also helped me to achieve what I can do now, thanks Jenna for the beautiful last cures and Manon for the top off ice! Over the years, I've had a lot of help from several people including Chloé, Caroline, Kaat and Sandy!
I want to thank everyone for believing in me and supporting me!
I hereby say goodbye to the competitive ice skating but you will still see me on the ice!
