Before being the wife of Jean Dujardin, Nathalie Pechalat is above all a very talented ice dancer. With her partner at the time Fabien Bourzat, she was for a long time one of the best in the world in her discipline, failing in fourth place at the Winter Olympics in 2014. Five times champion of France, she reigned over her sport before to retrain once his career is over. She notably became president of the French Federation of Ice Sports (FFSG) from March 2020 to June 2022, a very coveted position and unfortunately for her, the 38-year-old champion lost the last elections, to her great dismay.
Now recovered from this big disappointment, Nathalie Péchalat has been able to bounce back and spend time with her husband, as well as their two daughters, Jeanne (6 years old) and Alice (1 year old), while remaining professionally active. Recently, she was pleased to see the Oscar-winning actor alongside a rugby star during a beautiful ceremony. If she was involved in the bodies of her sport, during her retirement from sport in 2014, the native of Rouen also spent four seasons as consultant for figure skating on Eurosport. From 2015 to 2019, she commented on the sports competitions of her favorite sport with another skater, Alban Préaubert.
Nathalie Péchalat back to comment on skating
An activity that obviously pleased Nathalie Péchalat a lot since she decided to get back to it! As she showed on her Instagram account this weekend, the 38-year-old former sportswoman was back at the Eurosport premises and she was able to find her faithful sidekick Alban there. After picking up her badge, she settled into the booth to comment on the Skate Canada competition, which was held last weekend near Mississauga, Ontario. “Back to Eurosport!!”, ignites the beautiful brunette, very happy to find a job she loves. For the moment, we do not yet know if the adventure will continue, but it is a return that makes him extremely happy!
