Was she briefly in a US Pairs team last season?

Was she briefly in a US Pairs team last season?

Her last partner was Edoardo Caputo. They WD from 2024 Nats and were still together last September but didn't compete in any NQS events, so they had no chance of qualifying for 2025 Nats.

Geographically, it's more like Bruno moved to them, as he left Caen for Angers ?

Is there any exciting story behind that?

Is there any exciting story behind that?

Besides the fact that Bruno was offered many more $$$$$ than in Caen, not that I know of. The skating club of Caen has had serious financial troubles.

Sounds like the FFSG held their JGP selection test event this weekend. There doesn't appear to be any competition results that I can find, so I'm thinking the skaters just showed their programs & were informally judged. I've seen posts from both Ehrhard/Pellegris and Telemaque/Coulon about it, and Jean Medard mentioned traveling to it on Friday.
