Link became Luxembourg's sportsman of the year in 1959 and participated in the Olympic Games in 1960.

Link won the title of junior world champion in fencing on two occasions, followed by a participation in the Olympic Games in Rome.

Apart from his athletic success, Link completed an economics degree and led the family business Café Link, which was relocated to Kehlen under his guidance. He was the son of former COSL president Prosper Link.

RTL sends its condolences to his family.
