TAKING A BREAK
Chose not to compete in the 2020/21 season and to focus instead on the 2021/22 season. They withdrew from the 2021 World Championships in January. "We have never experienced such a long period without competition. The successive cancellations (of events) have created a climate of uncertainty and doubt that is difficult to manage for all high-level athletes. With the World Championships still hypothetical, we needed a more solid, concrete goal. The 2022 Olympic Games are our priority and we are going to do everything we can with our team and the federation to prepare for them in the best possible conditions." (Cizeron, ffsg.org, 19 Jan 2021)
"We went through different emotional phases during this period and needed to review our goals to create a new dynamic." (Papadakis, ffsg.org, 19 Jan 2021)
