Meet France's controversial ice dance Olympic champions

Cikk tartalma röviden

Guillaume Cizeron and Laurence Fournier Beaudry won the Olympic ice dance title at Milan-Cortina 2026, achieving a remarkable victory in their first competition together. They scored highest in both rhythm and free dance segments, outperforming American duo Evan Bates and Madison Chock, who took silver, and Canadian pair Piper Gilles and Paul Poirier, who earned bronze. Cizeron, a previous Olympic champion, and Fournier Beaudry, who recently gained French citizenship, have quickly established a successful partnership, winning five of six major competitions. The event was marked by Cizeron's contentious split from former partner Gabriella Papadakis and Fournier Beaudry's support for her boyfriend amid controversy.
