Gold on Gold: Lajoie & Lagha Cheer thread!

Interesting that you pointed out that Lala may have switched from Romain to MF/P as their main coach. I can't imagine this was their choice? But perhaps an internal conversation after FB/C returned to competition. They have such natural talent and I feel like IAM in general hasn't prioritized them enough. Wishing nothing but good things for this team.

I wonder if Marie-France is their main coach now? Maybe I'm reading too much into it and it is just a translation but Marjorie's quote about them taking a "big step" this year by working more closely with MF/Patrice, them not feeling alone anymore...

I have been hoping for that for a while now. I wasn't a big fan of them with Romain as their main coach. I think MF and Patrice are what they need to take that step to the major podiums. I hope this isn't just a one off for this season because Romain is too busy with his Euro teams. Hopefully Skate Canada is on the same page and encouraging this because G/P will be gone and they need LaLa to be with the best training situation going forward.

100% agree. I've been hoping for this also.

Also with Chock /Bates most likely moving on after this season, this feels like a natural progression and MF & Patrice have more availability.

Very true. What they need above all is for Skate Canada to position them as their new #1 moving forward. SkateCan has majorly fumbled on their young talent... they need to get their act together to contend in the future.

Agree if it is the case, they’re going to be Skate Canada #1 anyway - maybe as soon as after their next two competitions if G/P skip Worlds. I'm kind of upset that they felt alone at some point, that shouldn’t be happening with a team of their caliber. The optics are also cleaner with MF & Patrice being Canadian, probably something of worth to the federation.
