Belgian vaulting champion Lauren Vanlerberghe retires from elite sport
Published
After eighteen years, Lauren Vanlerberghe is bidding farewell to individual vaulting. Vaulting is a sport in which riders perform acrobatic exercises on a moving horse. The Belgian equestrienne has won fourteen titles during her career and has often represented our country at international competitions.
Vanlerberghe made the decision to stop after a long period of training and competition. The sportswoman said little about the precise reasons in the statement. What is clear, however, is that she looks back on her career with pride. For many young athletes in Belgium, she is an important role model.
It is not yet known what Vanlerberghe will do in the future. She will probably remain involved in equestrian sport. Her farewell is a moment of reflection for the Belgian vaulting community, which has been growing for years and is receiving more and more attention.
