Since she was elected president of the Ice Sports Federation, Nathalie Péchalat has played the leading roles in French sports bodies. Seams not necessarily always easy to wear for the companion of Jean Dujardin. Because the world of figure skating and ice dancing – still disturbed by the revelations of Sarah Abitbol, who accuses her former coach of rape, touching and sexual harassment, then the forced resignation of Didier Gailhaguet, the former president of the Federation – is still sometimes severely singled out. “We would necessarily like to go faster, but we can no longer say that the Ice Sports Federation does not act and does not support the victims.“, told the mother of little Jeanne in the columns of ‘Parisien / Today in France’.
Despite all these obstacles in front of her, the former finalist of Dancing with the Stars does not admit defeat and intends to take advantage of her entire mandate to restore her letters of nobility to this sport that she cherishes so much. and who made her famous: “I got a car back with quite a few latent defects, I’m going to keep fixing it up to get it going“.
Big blow for Nathalie Péchalat just before the Olympics
If the companion of Jean Dujardin intends to weigh her word outside France, she will have to wait patiently for the moment. A few days before the start of the Winter Olympics which will take place in Beijing from February 4 to 20, 2022, new positive cases of Covid-19 have appeared in the French delegation. The president of the French National Olympic and Sports Committee (CNOSF), Brigitte Henriques, and the head of the Olympic delegation, Nathalie Péchalat, have tested positive and cannot, for the moment, go to the Chinese capital. “They will remotely support the French athletes and the management present in China and plan to go to Beijing when their situation allows it.“, can we read Tuesday in a press release from the CNOSF.
