Queen Mathilde rarely shows her sporty side at public appearances, but she makes an exception for special occasions.
Kortrijk – Queen Mathilde (48) paid a visit to the Belgian national basketball team, the “Belgian Cats”, and revealed a talent that was previously hidden!
Teams from all over the world will be competing against each other at the Olympic Games 2021 in Tokyo in a few weeks, and the Belgian Cats are also hoping for a medal. The national team, which was able to qualify for the Olympics for the first time, already has a royal fan: Queen Mathilde expressed her support at a personal meeting with the “Belgian Cats” * and wished the athletes good luck and success in the upcoming tournaments . As reported by “Le Soir”, Mathilde promised the team that her family would watch the games from home on the screen.
After a conversation with the team and the coaches, the monarch completed a small training session at the Lange Munte sports campus, which should have been a welcome change. Mathilde picked up the basketball to the enthusiastic applause of the players, showed full commitment and promptly landed a goal. The 48-year-old was a little surprised about her successful basketball throw. * 24royal.de is an offer from IPPEN.MEDIA.
