In an interview with sports correspondent Maya Bagriantseva, coach Romain Haguenauer praised Guillaume Cizeron and Laurence Fournier Beaudry for their professionalism, teamwork, and mutual respect as a new ice dance duo. Here’s a translation of his comments.
“They are true professionals. Over the years, Guillaume has almost become a colleague – we’ve worked together a lot; he’s done choreography and helped us with program creation.
But when he decided to return to the ice, he had no problem becoming our student again – he listens to the coaches and works even harder than before. He and Laurence are incredibly well-trained skaters with a strong technical foundation, but even they need an outside perspective. In our team, there is trust, and that’s the most important thing.
Their strength as a new duo is that they are equal partners. Guillaume doesn’t impose his vision and ideas; Laurence is a very strong skater with a strong character. Mutual respect plays a major role in their relationship.
It’s like a family: they share responsibilities and don’t claim unconditional leadership in the pair. Someone does the dishes, someone does the laundry – and it’s the same here. They’re a great team, and they’re very similar. Laurence has told me more than once that she can sense Guillaume without words,” Haguenauer said.
