When did you start skating? Scarlett: <\/strong>I started skating in 1994 when I was 5.<\/p>\n
Lionel: <\/strong>I started skating at 7 and competing at 8 in ice dance.<\/p>\n Lionel: <\/strong>My cousin and I go in the ice rink in Lyon after seeing a competition on TV. I stay on the ice all the day and the night I say to my parents that I want to do this my all life.<\/p>\n Lionel:<\/strong> In Lyon there is the best ice dance center, with one of the best coaches in the world, Muriel Zazoui, so I decide to train with the best.<\/p>\n Lionel:<\/strong> We start together when our partner decided to skate together.<\/p>\n Lionel:<\/strong> In September, it would be our 3rd season.<\/p>\n Lionel: <\/strong>We have 3 coaches of ice dance, one physical preparator, one choreographer, one doc, and I have one physiotherapist. They’re all very good. They’re very complementary.<\/p>\n Lionel:<\/strong> I hope we can win the French master’s for the second time and the French junior national championship for the first time together.<\/p>\n Lionel: <\/strong>I think this is lift, Scarlett is very stretchy, and I work hard in physical preparation.<\/p>\n Lionel: <\/strong>I love a lot of skater. I really like Sasha Cohen in women, for me she’s really strong and determined. In dance Marina and Gwendal, they create new elements, they change our sport, and when they skate there is a lot of emotion. In men Jeff Buttle and Johnny Weir, because they’re both good skaters and very interpretive. In pairs Shen Zhao.<\/p>\n Lionel: <\/strong>I work on physical preparation a lot of time. I go in physiotherapist and when I have free time I go shopping and stay with my friend but it’s really rare. I work on our website too.<\/p>\n
