Papadakis/Cizeron #8 - Oh Lover Hold On

[cocotaffy]

If Rembrandt were to paint Tango ... and let's celebrate "free leg supreme extension day" with this other gorgeous pose.
Also Yuna has good taste as she surrounded herself with the two frenchies Guillaume and James during the final of ATS like they were her personal bodyguards (from 5:31 till the end, very conscientious guys ! )They were constantly hoovering around her or it might have been the other way around and who could blame her

 

[barbarafan]

Isn't he choreographing for Lubov and Charlie? At least, they are in Montreal...

sssshhhhhhhh

I love the last pic in this collage.

Black dress or teal dress?

The teal dress all the way if the gorgeous big earrings are included!

 

[cocotaffy]

Oh yesssssssssssss, such a moment. They are an extremely photogenic couple on the ice. I have to say the lighting works at ATS was superb and highlighted so well their tango. I'm not one for galas but this one was very well put together especially the opening and final which are often looking a bit random and hastily put together.

ETA: Just wanted to specify the name of the photographer Eileen and here is her/his twitter.

I have to say after watching the ATS clips I’m even more in awe with Cizeron’s skating than before. I’ve always thought he is a skaters’ skater but in this show he shined even more than usual.

Edited to add: I love this pic of them. Sophisticated and beautiful.

 

[bcash]

I thought his movement quality was getting more and more elevated. super refined, confident and authoritative. Excited for what lies ahead.

New article in French with an interview of Gabriella http://www.interviewsport.fr/gabriella_papadakis.php Most important bit is at the end concerning the new programs: they already know what they want to do, it apparently came easy to them this time around.

Thanks for the link! An interview with Cizeron will be published later at the same site.

New interview done by MK Blades while G & G were in England for Lewis Gibson's workshops.

 

[MelDee]

MK Blades did an interview with Gaby and Guillaume during the Ice+Dance seminar in the UK. They share their views on coaching, their previous season, they talk about their preparation for next season, explain why they don't do music announcements and share some fun facts about themselves

Edit: @Orm Irian Looks like we posted it at the same moment, haha!

 

[Enchanted]

Guillaume’s interview has been posted at Interviewsport.

 

[cocotaffy]

So as we could very well predicted, Grand prix de France and NHK. I pray the skate gods they can finally get to NHK and perform the way they want too

 

[Isabelle.G]

As the tickets for the next year's Euros are already on sale (for all competitions), is anyone planning to attend that event?

Bah TSL can be annoying but I guess I'll have to watch...

Same here ... and Gaby and Guillaume never give us much during the off season so that is a huge treat and a long one too.

 

[bcash]

They did an interview with Dave prior to the 2016 season. So they have a bit of history.

Thankfully Dave finally let Jonathan take most of the lead in asking the questions and it was actually way less hyper and more conversational.

Were the questions good?

 

[skatfan]

Were the questions good?

I thought they were - there was some nice affinity between P/C and Jonathan around preparation for performance, looking at creating art, musicality, etc. Haven't made it to the end, but not many cringeworthy questions. It sounds like their Rhythm Dance is taking them in a fun direction, so I can't wait to see it!

 

[cocotaffy]

They always stay quite vague during those live interviews. Their printed ones are sometimes much more revealing. Still better than the total silence we usually get during the off season. The most interesting was how distant they are from skating, not watching it at all even younger, which indeed could explain why their way of moving is so unique. Also seeing their reactions when Jonathan mentioned French operetta, I guess we can cross this from the list. Let's see if the jazz hands will make an appearance though.

 

[Orm Irian]

I did like learning that this season they just threw habit to the winds and went for something plain fun in the RD. I'm looking forward to seeing what they do and what new sides of themselves they show!

Such beautiful movements
Kudos to the photographer. The 6th and 7th photos are my favorites !

I love the first one, this is nearly unreal how can they look so relax like they having a stroll in a sunny park somewhere talk to each other and yet we all now they are at the beginning of their program at World no less. Thanks so photos are gorgeous.

Romain interview with TSL obviously talking about P/C at some point but also many other things.

Too bad I refuse to watch TSL because I’d love to see what he had to say.
