Here's a nice youtube video..can see the cute couple Juju and Benoit as well as the lively atmosphere of the place there, everyone eager to play a part in this meaningful event :)
And here's another video which is a news report of the event, again, showing Justine shaking the bell (If you can't view it here, go to http://www.rtl.be/videos/page/rtl-video-en-embed/640.aspx?VideoID=466241):
Tournoi de tennis à Limelette pour le Télévie
Is this the registration counter?
Spot Justine and the number of cows present
Getting ready..any belgians can play a mini game-see how many celebrities you can spot out of these ppl?
They must be chatting something serious...look at the serious look of Ju
Ju:"Hmmm, yes I agree..." (closes her eyes)
Ju:"Hmmm.." (Opens her eyes)
*Ok, I'll stop being lame here...
And below are the combination of the group photos (I won't caption all of them except for the 1st one..I'm running out of captions):
Yes, we can!
After the handsome and pretty adults, let's have some handsome and pretty kids too:
I liked how they are wearing the club T-shirts and caps!
Let's have a group photo!
All the sporty handsomes
I wish I was there to hear Justine's interview, although 100% I won't understand what she said in "Bonjour bonjour" but I will smile seeing her smile =)
Ju:"I wanna play with them too, but I also wanna enjoy watching the matches"
Guy:"So what would you choose?"
Ju:"Well....not sure of my elbow and my stamina, maybe next time I'll play, now I'll just watch some fun tennis!"
"Club Justine Henin" is one of the places which I wanted to go while I'm still breathing. So many indoor courts and what a size!
The participants getting ready for their matches and also a good photo to see the facilities of the club. That's a viewing panel on top there right? Like those in airports to view airplanes..
So nice to get her autograph! I also want...maybe in my dreams~
This smile! Ju should show it more often then there will be no need for power stations
Some awards ceremony? I saw trophies...
Joachim Gerard-Wheelchair Tennis Pro, looking good out there and lots of prizes!
A candid shot of Justine!
I wonder what are they looking at? Something amusing?
Justine is looking younger and younger! But still can't hide her handsomeness :-P
I super love this one!!! That cheeky smile again!
I can imagine one day Justine doing this pose again with her own beautiful kids! Ju looks so blissful and peaceful here!
Still got that Tennis Queen Aura! I love her side view as well, very nice features! I shall call this "Justine's version of Mona Lisa's pose"
And who says only Mackayla Maroney is not impressed?
Our queen Justine is as well:
Oh no! Justine is Not Impressed! Run for your lives!
Ok, that's the end of the Televie event news. See you next year! And now comes the news Carlo et Fils event which include this lovely photo of Justine and Benoit:
Benoit always looking so cheerful, he is just like a cute big pooh bear! (Means no offense to him..supposed to be a compliment) If they had said Lalie looking like him, then Lalie will be very cute! Although either looking like Mama or Papa she will confirm to be very cute too!
Here's a blog post about Justine's interview here:
And now, news of Justine's clarification of her "doping" (evil media!), which I believed Justine really hated and am as clean and pure as water PH 7.0:
An article which Danielle had translated here:
Justine Henin did not appreciate the words of Christophe Rochus towards her.
© BELGA / BENOIT DOPPAGNE.
Doping: Justine Henin puts back Christophe Rochus to his place
PHILIPPE VANDE WEYER Those who make declarations without proof (about the doping), it hampers me a lot ", said Justine Henin on Friday in the Circle of Lorraine. Christophe Rochus, in particular, had made press certain suspicions on the performances of the other players.
Justine Henin was the guest of prestigious Circle of Lorraine, in Brussels, it Friday noon, to come to speak about the reconversion of the high-level sportsman in front of good hundred businessmen there. At the end of a brilliant and moving presentation, when came the hour of the questions / answers, the ex--n 1 world of tennis was called out on the doping in her sport and on the suspicions that make weigh some, of which Christophe Rochus, on the performances and the faculties of recovery of the other players, by means of statements or of pernicious insinuations. We remember that Auvelaisien, at the beginning of this year, a short time later to have retired, had emitted in particular doubts on Twizz Radio on the lightning return of Rafael Nadal after his wound in the knee and had wondered about the "disappearance" of Robin Soderling after the tournament of Bastad in 2011.
" Those who make statements without proof (about the doping), it hampers me a lot, answered Justine Henin. It is easier to criticize that to question himself, to see what we made or not made. There are athletes who train six at seven o'clock a day. Maybe that those who arrive at the top reach there because they work ten times more than the others … "
This reaction without ambiguity is not surprising on behalf of Henin. At the time of her tennis glory, Rochefortoise had, herself, was the victim of suspicions of doping, on behalf of the clan Clijsters, in 2003, having set of the muscular mass during a stay at the physical assistant Pat Etcheberry, and when she had brutally put an end to her career in 2008, a few weeks away before Roland Garros, Wimbledon and Games of Beijing before returning to the business less than two years later; we had whispered in the time when the WTA would have asked her to be held towards the circuit during several months after a positive control by guaranteeing her besides the most complete discretion. Charges, them too, without proof, which had allocated her to the time.
" I do not say that there is no doping in tennis - especially as there have been already positive cases - and I am for an increase of the controls, has still specified Justine Henin. But in this domain, it is necessary to pay attention on what we say. "
Those blind jealous haters who accused Justine of doping must not have seen how hard Justine worked to reach the top. Should force them to try her physical workouts and these sissy haters will definitely cry and surrender within minutes, let alone training for years after years. It's easy to spit shit when you haven't gone through the same phase as Justine, both physically and emotionally. Haters should just grow up and move on to Love more.
Ok, I shall stop talking about the classless haters and moving on next to more love love love, take a look at Justine's official facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Justine-Henin-Official-page/353706170093?fref=ts
On 1 December, she posted "@ Club Justine Henin pour une activité Justine For Kids au profit de l'ASBL "Nos enfants cardiaques"
"@Club Justine Henin Justine For Kids for an activity for the benefit of the association "Our heart children" in English
Nice to see Justine actively participating in charity activities!
Way to go, Justine!
On 10 Dec, she posted to have spent a weekend with the kids filled with emotions at Disney Land for JustineForKids foundation:
It's just like last time when Justine was still heavily pregnant with Lalie but that didn't stop her from accompanying the children to Disney Land and making wonderful memories for the children!
And on 14 Dec, she posted to have a Color Magic Night event for JustineForKids:
An overall summary is written on her website under the news section. You can choose to change the language of site: http://justine-henin.be/l/news

Here's an additional video of Justine found on youtube (It's in French though):
Finally ended this pretty long post, my bad for dragging it for so long and updating it all at once. Let's hope to see more beautiful Justine and more activities of her. I still got quite a number of her off court videos and a couple of her matches which I haven't uploaded onto youtube or other video channels yet, sorry for the delay. Btw, Hep Taxi Justine Henin had been taken down by youtube...damn it!
Staff of Justine Henin Academy wishes you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Hey Chia, happy new year! I may be the only one who comments on here these days but I'm sure there are many more fans of Justine still out there who love your commitment to the blog, like me! I really like Ju's recent hairstyle, very sleek and stylish, always nice to see her looking pretty yet remaining sporty :)
ReplyDeleteSarah
Hey sarah, nice to see you back here again! It's ok if there are only you and me who came to this blog these days, the original purpose of this blog is mainly to channel some of my "obsessions" of Justine here. ^o^ It's a pity that I couldn't update this blog more often as in the past, which I really admit is 80% due to laziness and lack of any surviving creativity cells. But I believe my heart will go on (yeah, the soundtrack now keeps repeating in my head) for Ju, Allez!
ReplyDeleteJu's hairstyle is nice but sometimes when not managed well, can be a little bit of currypuff but doesn't matter if her hair can be like bird nest fern or silky soft like tofu, her beautiful and cute face will still generate electricity. Loves her, misses her, same to Lalie. <3
Chia,
ReplyDeleteIt's my pleasure, this is my Justine home and she will always be a part of my life somehow :) Haha, well I think you're doing a great job here, it's so nice to see your put effort into showing what Ju is up to! I really like the picture of her from the side, she looks a little pale but it reminds me of her tennis days. The expression is all there, she only needs a white cap now xD It is a chapter of her life I will never forget, but a new one is being written with motherhood and her happiness with it, which makes me happy too :)
Lol her hair can be like that (as so with many of us) and it can be very pretty as well, but the way she carries herself is what I love most. That's what drew me first to watching her matches, she was just different to the rest and her style still glows now :)
Wishing loads of good times ahead for the whole family and you too Chia, allez Ju!
Thanks Sarah for making this place your Justine home haha! Make yourself comfortable here as you wish, I will try my best to update with some lameness of me. However, our adorable Juju is being too low-key, there's hardly any news that can squeeze out of her and no new photos of Lalie as well, but I can imagine Benoit with a wig and being more feminine (not to insult or what since Lalie looks a lot like her papa, hey, Benoit has beautiful eyes too!)
ReplyDeleteYes, Ju does look pale whitish in those photos, maybe it's due to Belgian weather being cool and not humid and hot like my country. It's good to see the motherly Justine forming a family and hoping that she will expand it, making Lalie a big sister!
I miss Justine wearing her cap and displaying her arrays of beautiful artistic shots! Her little ponytail to me is the best hairstyle haha! I think I can continue blogging with some old photos of her and lame captions accompanied but these few months, I will be pretty busy.
I wish the best for you and your family too! See you soon, Sarah! Allez!
