Ulitzer95 13,203 Posted Tuesday at 13:55 Micheline Lannoy (wiki), Belgian Olympic champion in pair skating (London 1948) died off radar in March 2023, aged 98. A current pick in the 20/20 pool. Hopefully not a DDP pick! Until 2022, she was Belgium's only Olympic gold medallist at any Winter Olympics. 5 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
