Sign in World champion says she 'never reached full potential' during Spring Classics despite Tour of Flanders win in candid Instagram post In a candid post about her Classics campaign, world champion Lotte Kopecky (SD Worx-Protime) has opened up about the lingering knee problem and subsequent mental challenges she struggled with throughout the spring Kopecky also spoke honestly about how the pressure on her to perform affected her in recent months, admitting that she "had the feeling I am just not good enough anymore", following criticism from the media on her Instagram The Belgian started by re-addressing how she'd reacted to finishing fifth at Liège-Bastogne-Liège Femmes referring to her statement: "I should be happy with this spring after the winter I had."  "I wasn’t looking for excuses and being straightforward is what I stand for So when I said ‘I should be happy with this spring after the winter I had’ in the interview after LBL I should’ve thought twice before saying it," said Kopecky high expectations and really had the feeling I am just not good enough anymore But sometimes it is hard to hear everything people are saying about you without having any clue what’s happening in our lives but that doesn’t mean we’ll succeed them all which was caused by a crash at the Simac Ladies Tour back in September but the world champion nonetheless missed some vital training in the winter "I’ve been struggling with my knee this winter Mentally pretty challenging for someone who’s kind of addicted to sports I learned a lot about my body," continued Kopecky "I could feel my body needed a lot of race rhythm because I didn’t do any intensity training this winter relying on my base I built over the past years I wanted more victories myself and honour this amazing jersey kind of fresh feeling and very hungry for wins." Even when she wasn't winning, however, her SD Worx-Protime teammates were, with Kopecky playing a vital role in Lorena Wiebes' victories at Milan-San Remo Women and Mischa Bredewold winning Amstel Gold Race from a breakaway "I already planned last year to start the season only in Milan-San Remo I am happy I made it just in time & was able to help Lorena Wiebes to the win," Kopecky said "I wasn’t able to make differences myself so it made me really happy to help the team to win." The world champion will now turn her focus mainly to the Tour de France Femmes where she should mount a challenge for the yellow jersey and overall victory against former teammate Demi Vollering (FDJ-Suez) with more than enough time for Kopecky to rebuild that intensity she missed due to the knee problem "Sometimes things happen for a reason," Kopecky concluded aiming & dreaming of big things this summer!"

to a winter campaign compromised by a knee injury that she picked up in a crash at the Simac Ladies Tour in October high expectations and really had the feeling I am just not good enough anymore," she added But sometimes it is hard to hear everything people are saying about you without having any clue what’s happening in our lives." Most riders would consider the results accrued by the SD Worx-Protime rider over the past few months a resounding success fifth at Liège and ninth at Milan-San Remo The 29-year-old, however, has set her standard even higher. Last year she had taken several high profile results by this stage, including wins at Paris-Roubaix and Strade Bianche Kopecky added: "I’ve been struggling with my knee this winter being on and off the bike the whole time." There had been media rumours that Kopecky's ailment was picked up through running but SD Worx has already released a statement to confirm that is not the case saying it was caused by the "aftermath of the fall in the Simac Ladies Tour" relying on my base I built over the past years," she wrote I wanted more victories myself and honour this amazing jersey." Kopecky remains positive and signed off with a hint that she may target something major at the Tour de France Femmes this summer "Sometimes things happen for a reason," she said Thank you for reading

/PRNewswire/ -- Syzygy Plasmonics announced today that it and Lotte Chemical have commissioned and completed performance testing of the world's largest all-electric ammonia cracking system in Ulsan South Korea with logistical support from Sumitomo Corporation of Americas and Sumitomo Corporation Korea This marks the second installation of Syzygy's Rigel™ reactor cell the other being located at the company's demonstration facility in Houston Building on positive results with over 2500 hours of testing in Houston the results in Ulsan prove the viability of using ammonia as a hydrogen carrier and set the stage for energy importing regions like Korea to engage in clean ammonia imports "Lotte and Syzygy made history with this project." -- Dr While many agree that low-carbon hydrogen will play a major role in reducing global emissions transporting it to energy importing countries is difficult and costly because it must be compressed Combining nitrogen with low-carbon hydrogen from regions with ready access to renewable electricity yields low-carbon ammonia the ammonia can be cracked with Syzygy's Ammonia e-Cracking™ systems to provide the low-carbon hydrogen energy importers need Successful testing of this technology sets the stage for opening the hydrogen economy "Lotte and Syzygy made history with this project," said Dr proven way to crack imported ammonia for hydrogen We are incredibly grateful to Lotte and Sumitomo Corporation Group for having the vision and showing the leadership to advance technologies like ours that hold the key to decarbonizing hard-to-abate

POV Forward Thinking Review of the Year Jenny Brewer Olivia Hingley Ellis Tree Elizabeth Goodspeed Liz Gorny Extra Search But with something so momentous – a player dedicating three to five more years of their career to their chosen club – it feels deserving of more fanfare This is something that the defender Lotte Wubben-Moy recently set herself on when re-signing her contract with Arsenal, the club she’s been a part of since she was 13. And rather than just standing in front of the camera, she decided to get behind it too, taking on the role of creative director. “The vision was to create something that was raw something that fans hadn’t seen before in an announcement video,” says Lotte “something that was stimulating and that actually allowed a clearer bridge between the player and the club and the fans.” This focus on the fans colours the whole video the attention is turned to the thousands of people who make the club what it is and that’s why there is this conversation between players and fans and that’s something that I want to elevate even more,” she says The voiceover throughout the video is a spoken-word manifesto from Lotte that speaks directly to the fans while making the cannon symbol where the football badge would sit a British Sign Language sign that was taught to Lotte by Izzy Trimble a young Arsenal fan who she’s forged a connection with in recent years “I do it as a celebration now,” says Lotte I could probably go on forever about it.” Even the aesthetic choices in the video reference the fans Footage of Lotte mid-game is interspersed throughout the video but rather than opting for the crisp definition of a high-end camera the grain and stutter of the film feels much more like a camera phone or a camcorder held by someone in the crowd the streets of London that Lotte and her fellow Arsenal fans walk Lotte says that “anytime I walk down the street you’re taken on a journey from Hackney Marshes all bathed in the warm glow of a sunny spring day in London With the level of production and care and attention that’s gone into it it feels disingenuous to call it a ‘video’ Alongside an already pretty rammed schedule as a professional footballer why did Lotte want to get involved in the project It was the chance to try something new and set her own rules “In football and working in a big group with a big team there’s so much that is chosen for you,” she says It felt like this was a perfect opportunity to have creative control.” This desire to try something new is something that’s always been reinforced by Arsenal; “the support that the club has given me has been liberating and empowering,” Lotte adds The contract renewal also coincided with Lotte’s injury – she’s been out of the game for pretty much all of 2025 as it resulted in her having more time to give to the renewal video This sentiment is a clear sign of the positivity Lotte approaches everything with being injured doesn’t actually mean you have more hours in the day have been longer: “But I think it’s maybe given me a different perspective Lotte has always seen creativity and football as intertwined a period off the pitch has allowed her to adopt a more creative mindset on the game – “I’ve seen myself take a step back and actually be able to give more to the team because I’m able to have an unbiased view on things” – it’s also facilitated a new creative perspective and more “free-flowing” mindset for the announcement video “It was very difficult and challenging,” Lotte says with working to a tight deadline being “really quite stressful” teamwork was what really made it all come together Lotte collaborated with a team she personally curated Highbury local Peter Joseph Smith on direction and photography and SJ Todd – a long term friend women’s football fan and founder of SJT Studio – came in as art director there’s so much that goes on and so many ideas before you see the final piece,” says Lotte it’s about the process and everything that’s gone into it.” She found comfort in bouncing ideas off SJ but also feeling confident to “step back and let go” The creative connections and collaborations that lie beneath the project go back even further – way back into childhood Together with her sister (who still remains a close collaborator) the pair used to listen to The XX even putting on a performance at a family event once with her sister singing and Lotte on guitar – “I wouldn’t want to watch that back,” Lotte says with a laugh The song played over the top of the video is Jamie XX’s track All Under One Roof Raving a song that doesn’t only post a lovely full-circle moment but for Lotte also represents the energy and atmosphere of watching a game at the Emirates Lotte’s face isn’t the only one you see in the film They’re all past members of her initiative Lots to Explore (previously called Time to Explore) a community programme set up by Lotte following her last contract signing that gives 16-year-old girls from the Camden Hackney and Islington area a chance to engage with sport and creativity at the Arsenal Hub Lots to Explore is part of Arsenal’s community department – Arsenal in the Community – an organisation that aims to positively impact the lives of young people in the club’s local area the organisation has been key in supporting the women’s game; in 1987 it offered girls-only football session at their indoor pitch a rarity at the time and a nice parallel to Lotte’s work today These initiatives echo one of the key sentiments of the announcement film: ‘Sometimes 90 seconds just isn’t enough’ Lotte’s enthusiasm is clear: “I’ve got a big smile on my face because there are just so many good moments,” she says she’s able to see girls who may have had no initial interest in football or the arts the programme has been extended from eight weeks to ten with around 80 young girls having made their way through in the past three years that are only further proof of Lotte’s dedication to football www.instagram.com/lottewubbenmoy Further InfoAbout the AuthorOlivia Hingley Olivia (she/her) is associate editor of the website working across editorial projects and features as well as Nicer Tuesdays events She joined the It’s Nice That team in 2021 Feel free to get in touch with any stories Fancy a bit of It's Nice That in your inbox Sign up to our newsletters and we'll keep you in the loop with everything good going on in the creative world Instagram TikTok LinkedIn Facebook Twitter Pinterest About Careers at It’s Nice That Privacy Policy Insights Residence Creative Lives in Progress If You Could Jobs © It’s Nice That 2024 · Nice Face Logo © It’s Nice That designers create entire worlds around fragrance – translating scent into sight But how do you design for something you cannot see Devised by photographer and art director Marloes Haarmans this saucy brief involved a lot of scouring the internet for abstract and aesthetic sex toys Created by Uncommon and directed by Blinkink’s Nicos Livesey See It Differently is a love letter to traditional filmmaking – championing craft graft and genre in opposition of CGI and AI These hyper-polished images appear digitally-rendered but the London artist’s process is surprisingly tactile the premium stock creative media platform’s latest report breaks down how creatives and clients are losing out due to the homogeneity of curated imagery we consume the brand’s whimsical yet temperate identity shows the impact of restraint New Balance’s latest Made in UK campaign explores British craft through the lens of those who make it happen With a poem by John Joseph Holt at its core and skilled hands behind the brand’s Flimby-made footwear Our obsessions might temporarily tilt us off balance between work and life but they can take us to unexpected places creatively So how do we know if we should follow them The Dutch visual artist explores pace and place in her documentation of the autonomous Spanish community Some Films’ campaign for Chocolate Naive feels like a memory shaped by the factory’s woodlands and the family that lives there we talk to founders Archie Lee Coates IV and Jeff Franklin about trust the artist’s soft and slow animations hit just the right note of nostalgia Tasked with uniting the football club under one clear vision Studio Dumbar/DEPT® opted for a more “stout” version Jacob Wise’s Skrappa as the hero type To launch Nike’s latest shoe by NBA star Ja Morant the Copenhagen-based creative studio takes from the world of scrapbooks and family albums friendship and community behind the unique sport of performing stunts on a flying plane Among an elitist equestrian scene and the backdrop of apartheid the photographer’s latest photo story – Black Rein – is a show-stopping recognition of the life and work of athlete a public exhibition along Leyton High Road celebrates the neighbourhood’s rich football heritage Switzerland has a rich design heritage that has proved hugely influential including two working at the sportswear brand On reinterpret this history within their work and we consider why the principles underpinning “Swiss Style” have stood the test of time To prove what advertising is missing out on the London-based photographer treated the shoot like a glossy campaign complete with action shots and dramatic staging the new visual system from Study Hall reimagines how sports are presented in the streaming space Documenting underrepresented communities in the skate scene the photographer and filmmaker has merged self-authored images with poignant portraits to reimagine the conventional capturing of the sport Amsterdam Berlin have combined motorsports and gaming aesthetics to appeal to younger audiences while reflecting the league’s commitment to improving accessibility The studio has moved away from the flashy neon tones associated with sports branding instead opting for something softer and more accessible Typography takes centre stage in the design duo’s flexible visual system for the sportswear brand spelling out clever design solutions across applications www.instagram.com/lottewubbenmoy This is something that the defender Lotte Wubben-Moy recently set herself on when re-signing her contract with Arsenal, the club she’s been a part of since she was 13.

by Ronde van Vlaanderen (@rondevanvlaanderen) Defending champion Elisa Longo Borghini (UAE Team ADQ) was However she crashed early on and while she continued for some time afterwards Kopecky had no such problems and rode an increasingly assured race “When it went with the four of us I was pretty confident,” she said of the finale Strongest in the finale of San Remo Women but sacrificing her chances for teammate Lorena Wiebes Kopecky started Sunday’s race a little unsure of her form She said she didn’t feel her usual self in Dwars door Vlaanderen but as the Tour of Flanders Women progressed it became clear she was on a good day Early on seven riders went clear and would build a maximum lead of approximately seven minutes with Puck Pieterse (Fenix-Deceuninck) one of those to go down Also ending up on the floor was defending champ Longo Borghini who hit the deck hard with approximately 109km remaining She was left lying on her right side for some time However her injuries were too much and the Italian champion ultimately abandoned with 95km to go Out front the break whittled down from seven to two by the climb of Valkenberg but Nicole Steigenga (AG Insurance-Soudal) and April Tacey (Coop-Repsol) were then rejoined by Franziska Brauße (Ceratizit) with 63km left Steigenga then pushed ahead on the Eikenberg and led solo over the Koppenberg but the adventure was over 39km from the finish Kopecky was looking ominously strong by that point Importantly she was also staying out of trouble avoiding the kind of spills which delayed Chabbey and FDJ-Suez teammate Amber Kraak on a dusty corner SD Worx Protime had several strong riders in play including former winner Anna van der Breggen and fired Mischa Bredewold up the road with Lauretta Hanson (Lidl-Trek) with 34km remaining only to be caught almost immediately afterwards Battered by the cobbles and the difficult climbs the list of contenders whittled down to 17 before the Oude Kwaremont Ferrand-Prévot swept forward there there and drove the pace on the climb ahead of Lippert and Kopecky Niewiadoma and Letetia Paternoster (Liv AlUla Jayco) inched up to them but a big turn at the front saw the Italian rider crack towards the summit where Niewiadoma—conscious about her lack of a sprint–hammered it from the bottom in a bid to drop her rivals However she couldn’t gap them and Lippert took over towards the summit Behind Pieterse and Chabbey went temporarily clear of the chasers and then settled back into a seven-woman chase group over the top They did what they could but with a time gap of 40 seconds with 3km to go All eyes were on Kopecky and she was left at the front inside the final kilometer She didn’t hesitate when Niewiadoma made a tentative attack with just over 500 meters to go She then led out the sprint despite a headwind and was strong enough to hold off Ferrand Prévot and Lippert and to seal a historic third win in the Ronde Please enable JS and disable any ad blocker 'I think it is a race that I can win in the future but just not this year' says world champion who now turns attention to Tour de France Femmes making history with a third Tour of Flanders victory three weeks ago but at La Doyenne the Côte de Roche-aux-Faucons proved too much and she had to settle for fifth Kopecky arrived for her second start at the Walloon Monument after finishing 34th at Amstel Gold Race and crashing en route to 12th at La Flèche Wallonne. Lining up alongside her was teammate Anna van der Breggen making her return after illness forced her to miss Flèche midweek Everything was going to plan for SD Worx-Protime as they stayed in the peloton while the rival Demi Vollering’s FDJ-Suez squad controlled the gap to the breakaway which was eventually caught with around 74 kilometres to go Attacks and counter-attacks flew off the front until Van der Breggen joined a small group of three riders managing to stay clear of the chasing peloton until the Côte de la Roche-aux-Faucons Puck Pieterse (Fenix-Deceuninck) launched a fierce attack with Vollering and Kopecky in tow The climb proved too much for Van der Breggen while Cedrine Kerbaol (EF Education-Oatly) was the only rider from the break able to stay with them But Kopecky could not follow the acceleration on the final steep part of the 1.3km climb as eventual winner Kim Le Court (AG Insurance Soudal) made her way to the front group.  The Belgian took the field sprint for fifth place Our team was really good at the front and tried to help as much as possible Having Anna in the break before Roche-aux-Faucons was really good for us It’s just sad she got caught before the top,” Kopecky said “I think I had a pretty good start on the final climb The last kilometre was just a little too much “We set goals and we try to challenge ourselves so I think we just need to keep doing that and I think it is a race that I can win in the future but just not this year,” Kopecky said in a post-race interview punchy climbs of the Tour of Flanders and the pavés of Paris-Roubaix in 2024 she still has not been able to achieve the same results on the longer climbs of Liège-Bastogne-Liège I have to be very happy with my win in the Tour of Flanders," said Kopecky and that’s something I’m drawing strength from I just need to let everything sink in for a week and then start preparing for the Tour de France with full focus.” Lyne LamoureuxLyne has been involved

(1898–1993) depicts gallerist Signe Schultz (1894-1960) oversaw Galerie Moderne at Nybrokajen in Stockholm Lady in a Fur Coat (The Gallerist Signe Schultz) (1941) is among the exceptional masterworks

talented women artists of the 20th century The gallery reaffirmed its dedication to her legacy in 2017 with Lotte Laserstein’s Women Laserstein began her art training at a school in Berlin run by her aunt and became one of the few women at the prestigious Akademie der Künste (Berlin Academy of Fine Arts) between 1919 and 1925 learning from classic painter-etcher Erich Wolfsfeld Despite winning the Academy’s gold medal in 1925 and earning critical praise for her first solo exhibition at Gurlitt’s Laserstein took on an array of jobs creating decorative art and illustrating an anatomy text The rise of Nazism threatened Laserstein’s life and career when in 1934 she was labelled under new Nazi racial laws as “three quarters Jewish” and was prohibited from exhibiting in public she was forced to relinquish her studio amid a dearth of artists’ materials and her work began receiving attention the same year with two paintings displayed in the Salon in Paris and an exhibition at the Galerie Moderne Laserstein spent the remainder of her life in Sweden becoming a member of the Swedish Academy of Arts As evidenced by the selection on view at TEFAF-Maastricht Laserstein’s work remains as relevant as ever she opted for an androgynous look that would appear contemporary today and explored subtleties of womanhood and female identity by depicting subjects with honesty and integrity Her muse and favorite model was German actress and singer Traute Rose (1903-1989) featured in intimate paintings such as My Studio and At the Mirror Rose first became Laserstein’s tennis coach and her athleticism enabled her to hold poses for extended time Laserstein married Sven Marcus in 1938 to gain Swedish citizenship but some speculate the artist and her muse were lesbians Homosexuality between consenting adults was legalized in Sweden in 1944 but it was classified as a mental illness until 1979 both women convey a defiance of feminine norms a feminist ideal that emerged from the term coined in 1894 by Irish-English feminist writer Sarah Grand (1854–1943) to describe independent women striving for radical change What matters most today is the quality of her painting and the

brands the Lotte (pronounced “loh-té”) offers an aura of sophistication thoughtful guest service and slightly unconventional interior design by the world-renowned Philippe Starck The luxury hotel occupies the first 16 stories of the 44-floor F5 Tower in the heart of Downtown Seattle bar and check-in desk occupying the topmost floor Mirrored surfaces and white marble result in an overall contemporary look though a recurring arboreal motif—a nod to Seattle’s origins as a logging town—manifests in the trunk-inspired hallway carpets wooden stools in the bathrooms and the carved sequoia log that makes up the front desk.  It’s also close to major highways for those traveling further afield within the Seattle-Tacoma metropolitan area the Lotte Hotel added the Lexus Drive Experience which allows hotel guests to check out one of two courtesy Lexus vehicles on the property and drive it around town for the day.  A stay here is also full of elegant South Korean touches from the seasonal welcome drink—maesil-cha during my stay—available after check-in to the wavy-edged white mirror above the toilet in every room it functions primarily as a venue for conferences weddings and other private events (and thus remains closed to both the public and regular hotel guests).  Each of them offers strikingly stylish interior design including unique works of art atop the mirrors behind each bed or couch and all-marble bathrooms with mirrored doors the two suites I stayed in over three nights each possessed a handful of functional flaws that were inconsistent The original Junior Suite King City View I stayed in had a leaky a sitting area lamp whose lightbulb needed replacement and a jerryrigged power strip solution to a broken power outlet by the bed.  When I informed the front desk the next morning I was eventually offered a complimentary upgrade to a Premier Suite King Bay View The suite was significantly larger and quieter (the background noise in my original room was much louder) It also featured a bathtub and a second bathroom but the bedroom had one major drawback: The blackout curtains didn’t properly close leaving a wide band of light from the neighbouring office building to shine across my face while I tried to sleep.  I was also able to see a Superior King City View (the standard room type) and the Presidential Suite Apart from the obvious differences in size and more premium amenities like a bathtub or sitting area Starck’s design throughline is evident in each type of room and suite Each dish I tried as a party of four was solid only tasted good if you managed to combine every single component on the plate in each bite.  If you’re in town for sightseeing and general leisure I’d rather recommend walking to restaurants in Chinatown International District or the various eateries in and around nearby Pike Place Market the front desk staff offered a complimentary upgrade when my first night at the Lotte was less than excellent and were more than happy to offer recommendations for dining The staff member in charge of the Lexus Drive Experience was equally knowledgeable and the valets and security guards were always quick to offer a friendly welcome or farewell greeting.  My only slightly less-than-stellar service experience was during my dinner at Charlotte partially due to a clear misunderstanding over an appetizer Our server also tried to push wine pairings on the two guests who ordered the cheapest entrées—a not exactly subtle upsell so you’re stuck tipping either way.  While I didn’t experience any of the treatments at the Le Spa de l’hôtel Lotte firsthand the third-floor spa offers customized facials All facial treatments use Biologique Recherche products I did explore the on-site gym and locker rooms You’ll find all the standard cardio equipment a variety of free weights and a few other items like balance trainers.  but still want them to be fairly accessible Despite a few functional flaws during my visit Lotte Hotel Seattle is still an excellent place to stay for luxury travelers in search of something different or someone who’s in town on business The suites are nice (and expensive) enough that you might not want to leave it’s a great home base for exploring Seattle’s major tourist attractions and visiting neighborhoods beyond downtown I recommend opting for a room or suite with a bay view which features a separate living room and a bathtub overlooking the city About us Lotte Kopecky is chasing something no woman has ever done She could become the first to win
