patinagemagazine: Libre Danse : et de 5 pour Gabriella et Guillaume ! Jean-Christophe Berlot Et de cinq ! Les compteurs sont désormais alignés pour Gabriella et Guillaume. L’Elégie de Gabriel Fauré a pris corps avec eux, elle a porté l’énergie des combats avec soi, avec l’autre, qui traversent la vie et parfois la modèlent. Un moment de grâce, que seuls les artistes les plus authentiques savent offrir. Le public s’est levé d’un coup, il a explosé encore plus fort qu’il les avait accueillis : record du Monde à nouveau, 137,09 points, 229,82 au total. 7 points derrière, les Américains, Madison Hubbell et Zachary Donohue, sur le « Drowning » d’Anne Sila. Leur chorégraphie n’explose plus comme jadis : mais leurs carres profondes font des pleins et des déliés sur cette musique lancinante. Madison Chock et Evan Bates, les meilleurs danseurs américains pour beaucoup, montent sur le podium mondial pour la première fois depuis 2016. Ils se sont à nouveau remis en question, à travers une gestuelle complètement nouvelle, surprenante. Elle figure l’espace : ils l’emplissent et y rayonnent. La soirée a vu une autre « standing ovation » : pour Lilah Fear et Lewis Gibson, les Anglais, éberluants de dynamisme sur leur « Roi Lion ». Ils ont investi une année entière pour parvenir à maîtriser ce programme imposant. « Oh mon Dieu ! Voir tous ces gens, partout ! On a reçu leur énergie tout du long. Merci Montpellier ! » Il y a si longtemps qu’une patinoire n’avait pas été pleine … C’est la fête ici, et elle va durer tard. Imaginez : Romain Haguenauer, Marie-France Dubreuil et Patrice Lauzon ont amené ici 12 des 20 finalistes ! #worlds2022 #montpellier #occitanie #championatsdumonde #patinageartistique #worldchampionships #iceradio #figureskating #isu #mars2022 #synerglace #patinagemagazine

Behind every success there is a village, and this is ours. I’m bursting with gratitude for our coaching team at @iceacademyofmontreal for not only being the best ice dance coaches in the world, but also incredible humans and mentors, who supported us endlessly as teenagers, as adults and as all of the in-between. They pushed us into becoming better athletes and better humans, and most importantly showed us how the two were indissociable. They created a training center that let us grow into all of these qualities and fostered an environment of incredible respect and sportsmanship. It seems impossible to successfully train more than half the competition, but not only do they do it wonderfully, the friendships I have with all of these other amazing athletes is invaluable. To have had our competitors come and hug us on the kiss and cry was one of the best moments of my life. Seeing them train everyday, watching their journey from up close has been immensely humbling. When I’m asked how hard it is to train alongside my competitors, all I can think about is every time it’s made this whole adventure easier. ♥️

shiyue_wang21: 很高兴我们赛季的最后一场比赛顺利结束🥰 在日本的这几天很开心～ 谢谢所有在场和不在场的朋友们给我们的呐喊和支持～❤️ 希望可以快点再回来～ 拜拜日本。

Chinese National Ice Dance Champions Wang Shiyue & Liu Xinyu’s Post-Free Dance Competition Interview

Source

1) This is the first time we have returned to China this season. We feel that the new training model and new training environment have helped us improve to a higher level. After seven months, we have finally come home, and are very happy that we got to perform our programs for the national audience.

2) We were mostly able to perform like we do in practice, but there were some small issues in the free dance. We will continue to work on improving the details.

3) The training in Canada is both fresh and unfamiliar. The coaching staff there is very well-rounded, with nearly 10 coaches covering different aspects. There are also professional dance teachers who help refine/improve the detailed movements.

4) Virtue & Moir have assisted us during our training; we were very excited to be able to work with our idols.

Our free dance choreography is by Marie-France Dubreuil. At first, we wanted to skate to “A Thousand Years,” but our coaches felt that they did not fully understand our style because it is our first season with them. Instead, they chose a blues song that they felt suits us, and that we also originally liked. If there is an opportunity in the future, then we will try “A Thousand Years.”

5) The training atmosphere in the group is very friendly, and we already knew the other members from previous competitions; our relationships is now increasingly getting better. The main feature of the Montreal group is that everyone is a friend. Our coaches’ aim is for us to compete fairly against each other on the ice, and befriend and get along with one another off the ice.

6) For our costumes, our coaches typically help to choose the color and we find some pictures online and communicate with the designer for the style.
