Another rink, same emotions and same result for Laurence Fournier Beaudry and Guillaume Cizeron. The French couple scored their first victory of the 2026-2027 season, the French Grand Prix at the Angers Icepark on Saturday October 24. In the lead after a beautifully crafted rhythmic dance, the Olympic champions from Milan Cortina confirmed in the free program, also presented for the first time. To music by Max Richter, Fournier Beaudry and Cizeron displayed their grace and technical qualities.
They largely dominated the competition (207.57 points) ahead of the Georgians Diana Davis and Gleb Smolkin (193.93 points) and the Americans Christina Carreira and Anthony Ponomarenko (189.36). Proof, if one were still needed, that there was indeed a gap between the French tandem and the rest of the field. The reigning world and European champions have unveiled their new program combining softness and intensity like their ultimate long lift.
Between twizzles and synchronization already remarkable for a first, Laurence Fournier Beaudry and Guillame Cizeron offered a contemporary moment, much more than what their opponents were able to offer.

They will be on display at the Finnish Grand Prix from November 20 to 22, and a likely place in the Grand Prix final, in China from December 10 to 13, 2026.
