There was some kind of fascination towards Papadakis Cizeron, because of their uniqueness, their sensitivity, much like with the Duchesnays. They striked a chord. That doesn't mandatorily extend their glow to the whole of ice dance. But what I can tell you is that there has never been as many...

Seems that Vouillamoz/Bouvart's SP is choreographed by Mahil Chantelauze (per their Instagrams)

Charlotte turned 7yo in November and Daniel turned 10 in January. The first time I saw them during the 2023-2024 season, she was 5yo and he was 8yo.

According to (canadian) Alain Goldberg who was speaking on Ice Radio in Candeloro's show, Lopareva / Brissaud have recently left IAM to fully train in France.

Because their score at Jr Nats was bloated ?

There is a new couple in Villard. Eryn Alavera who was already in Villard last season / Nikolai Balabardin who comes from Northern America (russian + canadian, parents both coaches, has competed in the US). They are 15 and 16yo and are currently competing in the Tournois de France in novice...
