Adam Siao Him Fa announced on his instagram that he is leaving Courbevoie. He was mainly coached by Laurent Depouilly for the last 2 seasons.
He has not disclosed his new coaching team..so we can start guessing: Italy, Orser, Arutyunyan, wherever Richaud ends up, ...
May the force be with him!

He is in Nice with one of his former coaches. I wish he had gone to Orser or Raf instead. After the good season he had, and the fact he considerably improved under the Depouillys, I don't really get why he has left...

 

[Ultraviolet]

Depouilly didn’t want Adam to work with Benoît Richaud anymore. May be he wanted Adam’s choreography to be done by the club’s team.

I wonder why - his programs were great.

 

[briancoogaert]

What a shame. I wish Adam the best, but honestly, he improved so much with Depouilly, he is leaving him way too early, IMO. Wait and see

FFSG's press release (June 20):

FFSG

www.ffsg.org

Machine translation:

Olympic champions in ice dancing in Beijing in February, world champions for the fifth time in Montpellier the following month, the French will therefore not participate in the 2022/2023 season.

“We decided to take a little break, to take the time to rest and focus instead on galas and tours. We will also be able to do different things, which we did not have time to do before, to respond to requests in France, among other things,” explains Guillaume Cizeron.

“It was obvious for us not to resume competitions in the fall. We gave ourselves time to reflect and we made this decision with the French Federation of Ice Sports, completes Gabriella Papadakis. We still have things to tell but we don't know when we will resume. Our bodies need to rest, even if we will still be very busy this winter. It will pass quickly. »

No but being beaten by an obscure woman from an obscure club who is reintroducing Gailhaguet into the FFSG as "a consultant" is not neutral.

Since beeing elected, the new French Federation president has been very quiet. This article from a local newspaper is saying that the pdf files she has been sending came from Didier Gailhaguet's computer.
Everybody knows who the puppeteer is! Not sure how long the new French Muppet Show is going to last!

Patinage artistique. Fédération française des sports de glace : Gwenaëlle Noury, une présidente sous influence ?

La Morbihannaise Gwenaëlle Gigarel-Noury a été élue en juin présidente de la Fédération française des sports de glace, alors qu’elle était peu connue dans le milieu du patinage. Ses détracteurs l’accusent d’être téléguidée par l’ancien président Didier Gailhaguet.

It says one of her first messages came originally from his computer. He learns. He won't make that mistake again.
But his style is usually recognizable.
What is a concern is that she isn't answering the press.
But 3 men do.
Gailhaguet, "an advisor like any other".
Patrice Martin who has been the president of the french water skiing association for 10 years, who has probably been dragged into this to be a facade, answering the press, hiding Gailhaguet's doing and protecting Mrs Noury. He's the current general secretary of the Bureau Executif (how on earth did he land there, nobody knows except the elected team ; if he is anything like Gailhaguet, he could have a quite recent membership card at the Brian Joubert Poitiers Glace club)
And Ludovic Le Guennec who is the president of the ice skating League of Normandy (ie a regional body of the FFSG) and current president of the Federal Council.

I'm pretty sure Gailhaguet chose a women to make it embarrassing for the Sport Ministry to diss her.
But "she's not used to the press" so she's not giving interviews, Martin says. lol. So let's 3 guys speak for her. Lol x 2.

Currently, FFSG's communication is dead. Their facebook is the only thing that is still moving, barely (Instagram and twitter are standing still). In a month and a half, there has been 3 obituaries, 1 exam result and GP selections. That's it. Yeaaaaaah. And one of them was soooo looking like Gailhaguet's writing.
They have published nothing about the general assembly, nothing about who has been elected in June apart from the president (correction, the list of the members of the Federal Coucil has been published yesterday), nothing about the JGP selections.

September and October are going to be scrutinized as they are a BIG question mark.
Is Gailhaguet going to hide behind every bush to watch the skaters perform and to rule everything by mail transfered to the official president who doesn't go much to the FFSG headquarters ?
That's going to be comedy material.

Unfortunately, she’s no longer competing in this. She was indeed on the Entries list but not on today’s Start Order.

Maé-Bérénice Méité may not yet be ready to debut her programs in competition, but she did share this clip on her Instagram on August 2: https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cgw29kqIars/

And the faces of some of the people who have inspired the theme of this SP.
Thank you Oriano, Rohene [Ward], for helping me, and bring my vision, this message to life.
Will go more in depth about the full creative process soon, stay tuned.

I see FFSG updated the organigramme.
Brian Joubert is now the president of CSN Patinage Artisique.
Eric Le Mercier (Theo Le Mercier's father) is the the president of CSN Danse sur Grace (Pernelle Caron was the president in previous term)

The FFSG has published a press pack (in french) for Courchevel JGP.

There is a "word of the president" on page 2.
In spite of the "Gwenaëlle Gigarel Noury" signature, it has an unmistakable, very distinctive Gailhaguet style.
Very "death in the soul" recognizable.

So the new president doesn't talk. And she doesn't write either, even in her public letters.
Gailhaguet holds her pen and surounded her with parrots.
What a farce !

How can you know she didn’t write it herself ?

 

[Nmsis]

How can you know she didn’t write it herself ?

The same way you can spot a doppelganger on the internet. Style, recurrences, manners.

After some people from the FFSG reported they recognized his way of writing in the new president's letters and instructions to the clubs (reported by Le Télégramme newspaper, and Gailhaguet wasn't even denying), I checked the Courchevel press pack, telling jokingly to myself he wouldn't dare.
.....
.....
.....
And he did !
Nobody writes like that, except Gailhaguet. You can spot him from kilometers away.

 

[cholla]

A few weeks ago, a coach showed me a mail signed "the new president" and the IP address was under the name Didier Gailhaguet. He doesn't even bother to hide so he could as well sign all communications himself. A farce indeed.

A beautiful documentary about Gabriella and Guillaume was released: "The Couple of Fire" It was made by TV5.
They followed them during the Olympic season. It is very intimate and real. The documentary lasts 90 minutes and takes time to dig deep. It is in French. I am not sure if there is a version with subtitles.

Gabriella talks about her depression in details. At one point, she revealed that she had an abortion around the World championships. She struggled with mental health and could not practice for a while.
It is a very personal subject and I am sure that the mainstream medias will follow-up with interviews on this subject. Gabriella is very brave and authentic during this documentary. She is very courageous to disclose this and I hope that the anti-abortion voices leave her alone.
