Will there be any broadcast of Marseille Trophy?
I'm not aware there is any, unlike the Trophée de Lys last Saturday (they had a streaming video which was blocked on Sunday).

Villard is streaming its 4 teams live on its facebook page. And Villard senior team will compete between 7:28 an 7:39 local time today. (according to the schedule)

But last week, after the competition (maybe the day after), the facebook account of the CSNBallet was having all the videos of all the teams. So who knows ...
And the CSNBallet instagram account seems to have videos of this season's previous competitions

Thank you so much for the info!I‘m not quite familiar with Ballet. Is the Odyssey program their “free ballet” or “choreography element”?

It's their free ballet.

In the choreographic exercise, all the costumes of a team are similar, tight, black only, with legs covered, no sequins and minimalistic make up.
It has 3 axis, defined for the season.
A theme : art of the street (in Villard's case, a reference to the street artist in Amélie Poulain)
A choreographic process : contrast
Gesture : release
The American Ice Theatre Youtube channel has made a video with examples of how they could use this season's choreographic process and gesture.


In the free ballet, as long as they enhance the theme, fancy costumes, props, (limited) scenery are allowed.

Check out my new interview with Adam Siao Him Fa--he talks about how he got started in skating, his artistic & technical growth, why he thinks the backflip is important, and his future goals. :)

Great ITW ❤️ The rink where Adam trains in Nice is old and rather nondescript but it's on top of a building with great views over the city indeed! It must be the only rink in France from where you can see palm trees. It's by far my fave rink in France and the reason why I love to attend Coupe de Nice whoever is on the roster :lol:

Great interview! Did he say all those quotes in English or were they translated from French?

Coach Roxane Petetin is leaving the Baraban rink in Lyon for the Meriadeck rink in Bordeaux.
Lopareva/Brissaud should follow her, spending 50% of their time in Bordeaux and 50% in Montréal.
Source : Roxane Petetin in Candeloro's streaming show Les Givrés.

Roxane Petetin says Baraban is kind of dropping ice dance for figure skating. I'm wondering what it means for the only french senior synchro team, les Zoulous, who train in Baraban. Many were coming from the ice dance section (like Geoffrey's siblings).

A few news about Marina Anissina were given by Pierre Baudouin, the coach who is leaving Meriadeck. He said that, while she still has her flat in Bordeaux, she's mainly following her children in their tennis career.

are Ovsiankina / Rahier juniors, because wouldn't they be eligible for JGP
Yes, as long as they have the required ISU clearance certificate.

Maximilien RAHIER is 19 and last competed for Switzerland at 2022 Junior Worlds: http://www.isuresults.com/bios/isufs00111163.htm

Alisa OVSIANKINA's ISU bio when she competed for Russia (she will be 16 in Sept.): http://www.isuresults.com/bios/isufs00111200.htm

Ovisankina/Rahier's team announcement post (in French & Russian): https://www.instagram.com/p/CvAtU4pOwQV/
"hello Everyone, we are happy to share this good news with you! Today was the presentation of our couple in Courchevel! We hope that starting this season you will be able to see us at competitions!"
Machine translation of a May 13th Russian article (CC: @Samurina):
Russian figure skater Alisa Ovsiankina, performing in a duet with Maximilian Rahier, will represent France starting next season, coach Marien de la Asuncion told RIA Novosti.
Ovsyankina is 16 years old. Previously, she performed in a duet with Matvey Samokhin.
“Alisa and Maximilian will represent France next season. In July they will take part in the selection of the Junior Grand Prix in France,” Asuncion said.
