POWERED BY VAN DER POEL
After learning that Nils van der Poel was living and training near him during the run-up to the Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games, Loubineaud ensured his training schedule coincided with the Swedish skater's. The pair became good friends and Loubineaud credits the two-time Olympic champion with helping him develop into the skater he has become. Van der Poel was the first person to message Loubineaud after the Frenchman broke his 5000m world record in November 2025. (isu-skating.com/speed-skating, 28 November 2025)
NO TRACKS NO PROBLEM
Despite there not being a single full-size speed skating track in France, Loubineaud has become an elite speed skater. (isu-skating.com/speed-skating, 28 November 2025)
BROTHERLY LOVE
"My brother is the person who gave me the greatest advice, I am still using. I am very grateful we had this relationship together. It is probably because of his help that I am where I am today. I am very grateful."

He has represented France in roller speed skating, and won silver in the road 10,000m points competition at the 2019 World Roller Games in Barcelona, Spain. (SportsDeskOnline, 17 Nov 2019)
"I don't like wearing jewellery while doing sports. We fight so hard for every gram, every marginal gain and I don't want to carry any more weight." (Athlete, December 2025)
"I like speed skating because it is very similar to roller skating, the sport I have been practising since a young age. My mother practised figure skating and my dad did rink hockey. My grandmother was a cashier at a roller skating venue in Gujan-Mestras. I became immersed into the world of skating from an early age. What I liked about speed skating is the sporting adventure, very different from my personal and structured cocoon that I have been living since my childhood, which meant getting out of my comfort zone, and especially finding another taste of training without leaving my passion for roller skating." (Athlete, December 2025)
