Two touching memorials were held in honor of short track speed skating champion Lara van Ruijven, who died this month at the age of 27. A hearse carrying her body was driven around the skating track at the Thialf ice arena in Heerenveen on Wednesday night, and the following day it drove two final laps around De Uithof, her first ice track. A private funeral was expected to be held on Thursday.Submitted by Frances Isabelle Marcelis on Thursday, 23 July 2020 - 18:40 https://nltimes.nl/2020/07/23/memorial-laps-speed-skater-van-ruijven-died-27
