2026 World Figure Skating Championships | Rhythm Dance

I doubt they have thought that far ahead as they do not seem to know if they will continue next season.
when they first gave their interviews about teaming up, they talked about winning at home games. Maybe at that point, they didn't expect to win it all right away... but now that they have done that, they may change their mind.

Look up the interviews (in French) from SRC (French CBC) and other media. They definitely talked about 2030

From the interview they gave this week, they said they haven't discussed their future plans yet.

People change their minds. I'll find the previous interviews
 
Cette association est-elle amenée à se poursuivre au-delà de 2026, qu'importent les résultats ? On pense évidemment aux Jeux de 2030 dans les Alpes françaises.

G.C. : On ne s'est pas mis de limite. Étant donné le temps qui nous sépare des Jeux de Milan, qui sont dans moins d'un an, on est extrêmement focalisés sur ce but-là. Mais évidemment que les Jeux olympiques de 2030, qui seront en France, sont très alléchants en tant qu'athlètes français. Surtout, quand on se souvient des Jeux de Paris cet été. C'est très inspirant de penser à cette possibilité.

Interviewer
Is this partnership aiming to continue after 2026, no matter the results? One think obviously about the 2030 games in the French Alps.

GC : We haven't set any limits. Since Milano is in less than a year, we are extremely focused on that goal. However, since 2030 games are in France, it's very tempting for a French athlete. Especially when one remembers of Paris games this summer. It's very inspiring to consider this opportunity

My take on it : they got their gold medal now... they most likely will be world champions... they could do a James-Radford and skate shows now. They may even sit out a couple seasons and come back just for the games in 2030. :). The difference now is that they have achieved the top rather sooner than maybe expected. I am sure that if they hadn't won, they would be clearer about continuing, but now, they can take their time and see what opportunities lie ahead now, and not wait 4 years for them.

I'm guessing they understood that outside 4 years French fans bubble they aren't universally loved champions and seen as heroes of the sport as they expected and now they are second guessing if medal in 2030 is worth being seen and remembered as forever villains by quite many, including their own teammates, judging by K&C reactions at team event (if I wasn't Adam's fan already, I would become one after that event).

Skating villains :). hehe :). funny how during the last quad, many thought it was Chock and Bates, and then, just like that, this role, and the medals that go with it, shifted.

When you read the comments by fans on Gabriella's Insta, you realize that FB/C have quite a few fans outside of the 'French bubble'. I tend to think that people prefer the easy dream to the reality of how dreams are spun. Gabriella's message is seen by many as coming from resentment and jaleousy rather than a will to change a system.

Well duhhhh
She was seen practising with Cizeron and going to the French ballet practises not so long ago and then she says she was forced to do all that.
Cry me a river Gabriella.
