Adam Siao Him Fa is now coached by Laurent Depouilly. He will train in the Courbevoie training center. Benoit Richaud will be his choreographer and will work with him on a daily basis. He will also work with off-ice trainer Cyril Le Goazigo. Adam is training with a lot of French skaters in Courchevel. That includes Joubert's group (Lea Serna, Landry Le May) and Aymoz, Mazzara, Hamon-Strekalin, Galyavieva-Thauron ...
Officially, Adam left Brian Joubert to focus on his PCS more and be in a training center that offers everything.


I don't think I have seen this in other threads

Officially...?

Officially...?

That is the reason given to the media. It was done with respect for the previous coach. From a PR perspective, it was done well.
However, it is the second time a senior male skater is leaving Joubert. Ponsart was the first student. They both complained about deficiencies in his coaching. Joubert is a young and ambitious coach, so I am sure he will improve and learn from this. Joubert's school is still rather new and gained a lot of good junior skaters the past 2 years. Obviously, we all know that Brian did not like to work with traditional off-ice trainers, ballet teachers , ice-dancers,.... It is almost like Brian would need a Patrick Chan-type to coach with him. I know that Marina Anissina helped a bit, but it will take a lot of work to create a structure with everything a skater needs nowadays.

I don't see this is similar to Ponsart, as Adam did train in Poitiers for quite a while. It's a move that makes sense, and I think Joubert will need to figure out how to work with people who can complement what he brings to the table.

Adam has to know that his competitive opportunities next year will be limited. The GP is a question mark, and you have to expect that even if Euros/Worlds will be held, Aymoz will be the one to go. That makes next season a good time for him to overhaul his basics and style.

Ah I see. Thank you.

Maé-Bérénice Méité is getting ready to return to the ice in Florida: https://www.instagram.com/p/CBqluVPDlPH/

I recently glimpsed an Instagram story screen shot of Zimmerman and Fontana choreographing a program remotely in Florida for Ziegler/Kiefer who were in Austria.

He'd like to get back to Florida asap. He had no trouble flying back to France to spend lockdown with his family. Returning to Wesley Chapel now is far more complicated. He is currently in Paris but will maybe come back to Grenoble to practice if he can be granted ice time.

Thanks, @cholla. I believe Julia Wagret and Pierre Souquet are flying or just flew from Florida (they got back on the ice last month in Estero, FL) back to France to renew their visa?

I must have missed it but has Mae's video got the attention it deserves?
I guess it being in French has limited the audience but it's very powerful. Her text and reading are very strong.

Thank you @milliskate! I had only seen an excerpt but this is really inspiring. Beautiful Job, Mae!

Christine Brennan is reporting that the Pasco County sheriff's office in Florida is reopening their investigation into allegations of sexual abuse against Morgan Cipres. The victim is now cooperating with police in the case (after being hesitant to come forward earlier).

Investigation reopened involving Olympic figure skater and sexual abuse allegation

An investigation has been reopened into an allegation of sexual abuse of a 13-year-old American female figure skater by French Olympian Morgan Cipres.

www.usatoday.com

“I can confirm the case has been reopened due to new or additional information,” spokesperson Amanda Hunter wrote in an email, adding “this is now an ongoing, active investigation.”
