Welcoming home our national sport champions

Luxembourg is nation with a strong drive for sports. And this drive could be seen on the 26th of June, when we welcomed home the national Special Olympics team! In addition to the Special Olympics team, those with an attentive eye might have also noticed Jennifer Warling in the group photo. Jennifer is a three-time medalist, including gold, in the women's kumite 55 kg event at the European Karate Championships. Coincidently, as we patiently waited for our national Special Olympic team to arrive home it was made known that Jennifer would also be arriving, after competing, at the same time! The arrivals hall was packed with friends, family and fans, even a local band came to play as the athletes walked through arrival hall doors! Upon returning, the team and Jennifer were welcomed with cheers, hugs and a complimentary breakfast, sponsored by lux-Airport. Additionally, RTL also joined to cover the event as well as, interview several of the athletes. Overall, we are lucky to have such incredible sports talents, cultivated here in Luxembourg!
