Olympic champions Papadakis-Cizeron meet the public in Montpellier

0

These are the most anticipated of these world figure skating championships at the Sud de France Aréna in Montpellier: Gabriella Papadakis and Guillaume Cizeron, the couple of French dancers who won their first Olympic title in Beijing in February.

We will have to wait until Friday and Saturday to see them skate and try to win their fifth title of ice dancing world champions.

“It’s a bit like a last celebration, there is less pressure for us than at the Games and we will be able to celebrate this Olympic title with the French public, with our families.” Gabriella Papadakis

These worlds mark the return of the public, which was not the case at the Olympic Games in Beijing, the public who can also attend training at the Vegapolis ice rink.

“It is a source of pride for us to be able to present our program in front of our public, our fan clubs who have supported us even from afar, it is the perfect year to organize the world championships in France, in Montpellier.” Guillaume Cizeron

Seven Ukrainians registered

These world championships are disputed without Russians and Belarusiansbanned from competition after the Russian military invasion of Ukraine.

A decision that “understands and supports” Nathalie Péchalat

“Yes, it lowers the level especially in the women’s individual category, but the stake is much more important than sporting performance, and Russian athletes are not only victims of the Russian system, they are also pawns on a chessboard. .. there are even detrimental decisions that need to be made.” Nathalie Péchalat, president of the French Ice Sports Federation.
