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.

↳ … you won’t skate together anymore (3:02) Gabriella: Of course it will happen at one moment or another. Guillaume: (joking) No, never! Gabriella: I don’t know, it will be something unknown to us because we always skated together, well almost always. Not skating together anymore would also mean stop our careers and stop skating and do something else in our lives. It’s very hard to imagine it but I think it will happen day after day, we’ll see what we want, who we are, what we want for the future. However, it’s something really hard to consider now.

Interview with Vanessa James and Morgan Ciprès: Solo or duo?

↳ Win a medal? (0:08) Morgan: I think it's better as a duo. We can share it with someone who really won it the same way as you did. So I think that it's better as a duo. Vanessa: Yes, I agree! Except for the prize money because we have to share it [laugh]

↳ Going shopping? (0:27) Vanessa: I prefer to do it in solo. I don't like waiting for the others or having them staring at me. I like taking my time. Morgan: I prefer going shopping in solo too. I like having someone's opinion but once I've bought the article so it's a bit too late.

↳ Go to see a movie? (0:40) Morgan: Never do that in solo! Vanessa: Duo! Duo!

↳ Have practice? (0:45) Morgan: It’s the same as winning a medal. I think that we can also share a practice. We [Vanessa and I] are used to do it as a duo. Vanessa: Duo! I’ve already done both. As an individual skater too. And I love the sharing and the complicity. I prefer doing it as a duo. Morgan: And I’m super nice so... [laugh]

↳ Buy an apartment or a house? (1:06) Vanessa: I don’t know yet! Morgan: [laugh] We haven’t reached that step yet! We’re thinking about it, we’ll see.

↳ Dance? (1:15) Vanessa: Duo, if you have a good lead! Morgan: Yeah, duo if you have a good partner.

↳ Life? (1:23) Vanessa: Ohhh, what a question! [laugh] Morgan: We don’t know yet. We’ll see! Vanessa: I would say duo. Morgan: I would say duo too.

↳ Watch figure skating? (1:35) Morgan: As you wish, you can do both but doing it with someone is good too. We can give our opinions, make comments... Vanessa: Yeah, duo. I think that it’s great to watch pairs with someone so the man [skater] can watch what the woman [skater] is doing and vice versa.

↳ Odd jobs? (1:57) Vanessa: Duo because I don’t like doing odd jobs. Morgan: Duo, yeah. It’s always good to have a friend’s help.

↳ Take a selfie? (2:07) Morgan: It’s cuter as a duo. Vanessa: A selfie? Alone, in solo.

↳ Take a bath? (2:17) Morgan: For me, it’s better in solo because we don’t fit in the bathtub. I’m too tall. Vanessa: I don’t really like taking a bath, I prefer taking a shower. So I would say solo.

↳ Wake up? (2:30) Vanessa: [laugh from both Vanessa and Morgan] It depends... I would say duo though. Morgan: Yeah, as a duo. Vanessa: Hugging and all... It’s great!
