Gabriella Papadakis will no longer serve as an NBC consultant for the 2026 Olympics after Guillaume Cizeron’s legal action over statements in her book led the network to question her neutrality.. Here’s a translation of an article posted on L’Equipe.
Although she was initially set to be a consultant for NBC during the 2026 Olympics, Gabriella Papadakis will ultimately not be in Milan-Cortina for the American network. This change is due to the formal notice issued by her former partner Guillaume Cizeron, following statements made in her book.
“To my knowledge, in response to Guillaume’s (Cizeron) formal notice, which was made public, they felt that the perception of my neutrality was compromised and that I could not commentate at the Olympics,” she explained Thursday in an interview with L’Équipe.
Papadakis (30) published her book “Pour ne pas disparaître” on Thursday, in which she notably criticizes the behavior of Cizeron, her former partner who will compete at the 2026 Olympics with Laurence Fournier Beaudry. Cizeron released a statement Tuesday, announcing the formal notice to Papadakis. “Losing an opportunity to start a new career is very hard to accept. I understand NBC’s position, but yes, I feel a sense of injustice,” Papadakis added in an interview.
