SPORTS 19.10.2025

French pair Guillaume Cizeron and his new partner Laurence Fournier Beaudry produced a captivating free dance routine to win gold at their first international competition together at the French Grand Prix in Angers on Sunday.

Text size:

Third after the rhythm dance despite a fall at the end of the programme, they managed to climb back up the rankings thanks to a wonderful performance in the free dance, skated to the mysterious music of the soundtrack from the film 'The Whale'.

Their performance earned them 133.02 points, an impressive score for the start of the season.

The pair won with a total of 211.02 points, 0.8 points ahead of the British duo Lilah Fear and Lewis Gibson (210.24 points) who had led after a spicy routine in the rhythm dance.

Lithuanians Allison Reed and Saulius Ambrulevicius took third place.

Angers is the first of the six ISU Grand Prix as competitors build towards the Olympics which get under way on February 6 in northern Italy.
