The Olympic Games in sight
Guillaume Cizeron and Laurence Fournier Beaudry, who have only been skating together for a year and are aiming for the Olympic title in three weeks, have had a turbulent last few days, following the release of the book by Gabriella Papadakis, Olympic champion with Guillaume Cizeron in 2022, which had a significant impact. In her book, she said in particular “under the influence” et “terrorized” by his former partner during their joint career.
But, on the Sheffield ice, the Cizeron-Fournier Beaudry couple did not give the impression of being destabilized. They attempted and succeeded in another lift and simply received a penalty on their choreographic step sequence.
“These are details that are not necessarily visible to the public eye, but are technical details to be refined during the two weeks of training before the Games. The (penalties) are felt a lot in the score, so it’s certain that it’s expensive”declared Laurence Fournier Beaudry. “It’s our responsibility over the next few weeks to make sure that this kind of thing doesn’t happen.”added Cizeron. The title will be awarded on Saturday at the end of the free dance, the strong point of the French couple.
