Immediately after Nina Derwael’s victory was officially announced, coach Marjorie Heuls waved a doll at the camera.

Afterwards, she said that it is her lucky charm that her son received and has been carrying with her since 2017. That year, Derwael won her first bronze in Montreal. It’s about Link, the hero from the Japanese game Zelda, which was developed for Nintendo and was her son’s favorite game. Heuls played it safe. She had a second amulet with her: a bracelet also from her children.
