General Interest

LONG-TIME PARTNERSHIP
Has been skating with Guillaume Cizeron since they were nine years old and never had another partner. "I think we have built a special dynamic, because we’ve been skating together for so long. It is natural for us to skate together. There are lot of things we don’t have to discuss, because we know already how the other one works. (...). The two of us have the same goal and we know that misunderstandings and disagreements don’t get us anywhere." (ffsg.org; Papadakis, Jan 2018)

MOVING TO CANADA
Moved from Lyon, France to Montreal, QC, Canada for training in 2014 with coach Romain Haguenauer. "It happened all very quickly. We took the decision in June (2014) and then we moved on July 14." (Cizeron, Pirouette Magazine, Dec 2014)
