✨ Anthem of Renewal

Carrie Underwood’s The Champion featuring Ludacris threads into this story with the same pulse that carried Cizeron and Fournier Beaudry to Olympic gold — a declaration that greatness is forged through resilience, reinvention, and the refusal to back down. The song’s driving beat mirrors their season: two skaters from different worlds pushing past doubt, rewriting expectations, and proving that courage is not loud, but steady. Like the chorus that insists on rising again and again, their partnership shows that champions aren’t defined by longevity, but by the fire they bring to the moment that matters most.

🏅 A Night That Redefined Ice Dance

On 11 February 2026, inside the electrified arena of Milano Cortina, Guillaume Cizeron and Laurence Fournier Beaudry delivered a free dance that felt less like a performance and more like a revelation. Skating to the haunting score of The Whale, they moved with a unity that belied the fact they have been partners for barely a year. Their 225.82 points edged out American giants Madison Chock and Evan Bates, sealing an Olympic gold that instantly entered French sporting mythology. Moments after stepping off the ice, still trembling with emotion, they told Olympics.com that they were “living a waking dream,” unable to fully grasp the magnitude of what they had just achieved.

💫 A Partnership Born From Instinct and Courage

Their story is as improbable as it is poetic. After dominating the sport for a decade with Gabriella Papadakis, Cizeron stepped away from competition in 2022, unsure whether he would ever return. Fournier Beaudry, meanwhile, had built a respected career representing Canada with Nikolaj Sørensen, but felt a creative restlessness she could no longer ignore. When the two crossed paths in 2025, the connection was immediate — not romantic, but artistic, instinctive, and deeply human. They chose each other with clarity, knowing the risks, knowing the scrutiny, knowing that the world would compare them to their pasts. “We didn’t choose the easy road,” Cizeron said, “but we chose the right one.”

🎭 The Art of Imperfection

Their Olympic triumph was not the product of mechanical precision but of emotional truth. Cizeron admitted that both skaters are “extreme perfectionists,” yet he repeated one mantra throughout the free dance: It doesn’t have to be perfect — it just has to be us. That shift in mindset became their superpower. Small imperfections dissolved into the larger narrative of authenticity, vulnerability, and connection. Fournier Beaudry, crowned Olympic champion for the first time, spoke with gratitude — for her coaches, for her family, and especially for Guillaume. “He believed in us from the beginning,” she said with a laugh. “And I hate to say it… but he’s always right.”

⛸️ A Journey Marked by Reinvention

Their path to gold was a masterclass in reinvention. They rebuilt technique, reimagined choreography, and fused two distinct skating identities into one. Their programs throughout the season — from the rhythmic dance that placed them in the lead two days earlier to the free dance that sealed their destiny — showcased a partnership that grew at astonishing speed. They trained between Montreal and Lyon, drawing from both cultures: the precision and discipline of French ice dance, and the emotional openness of the Canadian school. Their coaches describe them as “two artists who found the same language at the same moment,” a rare alignment that transformed into Olympic brilliance.

🌟 A Legacy Already Taking Shape

With their victory, Cizeron and Fournier Beaudry have written a new chapter in the history of ice dance — one defined not by longevity, but by intensity, trust, and artistic daring. Their gold medal is more than a sporting achievement; it is a testament to the power of choosing one’s path with intention. As the French flag rose above the Milano Cortina rink, the two skaters held each other tightly, overwhelmed by the journey that had brought them here. “We feel incredibly lucky,” Cizeron said. “Lucky to have lived this, lucky to have found each other, lucky to have created something true.” Their story is far from over — but their Olympic dream has already become a legend.

Dual Harmony

Artistic Convergence: When Two Worlds Align in Motion
One of the most striking — yet rarely highlighted — parts of Guillaume Cizeron and Laurence Fournier Beaudry’s partnership is how quickly they found a shared artistic voice, even though they come from completely different skating traditions. Cizeron grew up in the fluid, contemporary French style, while Fournier Beaudry trained for years in the more structured North‑American school. Blending those worlds usually takes several seasons, but they managed it in just a few months, creating a harmony on the ice that feels effortless despite their very different origins.
