Mini Q&A with Gabriella and Guillaume: “The day where…”

↳ … you got really mad at each other (0:10) Guillaume: Fortunately, it almost never happens. Gabriella: Yeah… It happens like maximum once a year. Guillaume: Whenever it happens, it’s usually because we don’t manage to do something and I I’m starting to say that it’s her fault and she says that it’s my fault and we end up not talking to each other and just looking away. Gabriella: And we just keep repeating the same thing: ‘it’s you!’, 'no, it’s you!’, 'no, it’s you!!’ and we stop talking to each other but we eventually just go back to normal. Guillaume: And then, we’re just: 'fine’!

↳ … you thought about the World Championships title for the first time (0:48) Guillaume: I remember there was a time where I said to my mom in the car - it was a long time ago - that my goal was to participate at World Junior Championships and after that, stop my career. Since then, lots a things happened but… I think it’s something that just gradually happened. Gabriella: It gradually happened and even the year where we became Ice Dance World champions [in 2015], we didn’t expect to win [after GPF 2014, their goal was a top 10 at Worlds]. So, it happened sooner than our own will.

↳ … something scary happened to you on the ice (1:37) Guillaume: We didn’t really have any very 'scary’ accidents. Actually, every time Gabriella had a big injury, I wasn’t here and her concussion wasn’t the result of a scary fall. We thought it was an unimportant fall and we only realized that there were something else later. Gabriella: I remember that there was a time at Lyon where we fell during a lift. Guillaume: Yeah, we were doing a kind of back somersault and we stumbled and fell. Gabriella: It wasn’t something serious but I got scared when it happened.

↳ … you missed training for a reason you can’t admit (2:25) Guillaume: Well we won’t confess now in front of the camera! Interviewer: Did it already happen? Gabriella: I don’t dare saying it to Guillaume but I’ll say it to the camera… [laugh] I’m joking! Interviewer: A train that got delayed, a time where you overslept? Guillaume: Yeah, but that’s not something that we can’t admit. All the times where one of us overslept… 'overslept’ (emphasis on the quotation marks)… It happened lots of times because when we were younger, we were starting training at 6A.M on the ice [before middle school/highschool classes] so… it was hard.
