Guest turquoiseblue Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Interview with Gabriella's mother: “For a long time queue in ice dance and unspoken nuances have been preventing Gabriella and Guillaume from getting fair scores.” Interview with Catherine Papadakis Quote How did you feel in the 2014/2015 season, when your daughter began to win big competitions and get standing ovations? Catherine Papadakis: I was happy, but not surprised. I have known for a long time that Gabriella and Guillaume should be in the lead: I realized this from their first performances at local competitions. But there is a queue in ice dance, and unspoken nuances have been preventing the guys from getting fair scores for a long time. You know, I’m often asked how I feel during my daughter’s performances. Am I proud of her? Of course I’m proud. But as soon as Gabby starts to skate, the coach turns on inside me. I look at the technique, the plot of the program, the levels … I just can’t separate the professional’s view from the subjective maternal feelings. Quote How do people in Europe and America treat the problem of excess weight among skaters? Catherine Papadakis: Honestly, no one discusses this topic – how many times I went to seminars and talked with different coaches. In our club in Clermont-Ferrand, there are no cases of weight loss. In other schools, too, I think they know how to find a balance. In Europe, it is simply not customary to talk about weight. During the time that Gabriella trains in Canada, she also has never complained to me about such problems. She eats well and is rarely weighed. Quote What is your favorite program of Papadakis / Cizeron? Catherine Papadakis: This season’s rhythmic dance. Everything is perfect there – music, rhythms, and movements in unison. The skaters accelerate, then stop a little, but after 2-3 steps they skate again at an insane speed. In the middle of the dance, they perform amazing choreographic movements and then start with complex steps. Everything is very fast until the last second. This is an excellent program! In general, I love how Gabby and Guillaume think over each dance and live in it. Quote Is it true that Gabriella gives all of her medals to you? Catherine Papadakis: Yes, I keep them at home and protect them so that no one steals (laughs). I’m looking forward to add the most coveted gold medal to our collection soon. My daughter has already won all the other awards, and we are waiting for the main one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest turquoiseblue Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 Mae posted a message on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/Cahi7pONJRz/ Quote I was looking forward to this week, to announce that finally I’m back on a competitive ice. But some minor complications arose while getting ready for the Tallinn Cup, so after discussing with the federation, we thought it was best for me to withdraw. 😔 A (frustrating) set up (yes I said SET UP, because it’s getting me ready for a bigger step 😉), and I know it’s for the best. Lucky and thankful to be surrounded by an amazing team that is taking such good care of me, so I can be 100% functional for my next planned competition 💪🏾 🛠 The work continues 🔥 PS: 3 years later (already 🤯) and still that much in love with my dress by @juju.designs 😍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
