Throughout his competitive career, he participated in three World Junior Championships, achieving a notable seventh-place finish. Richaud is currently residing in his hometown of Avignon, France.

He has done so many programs, but I think my favorite so far is Andreas Nordeback's 2022-23 SP to "Hurt"

Love it! Thank you for sharing!
I am also quite in love with Loïcia and Théo's FD this season. I believe that Richaud choreographed it, although it doesn't "scream" Richaud to me. It shows him/them under a new light.

Oh nice thread... I really like his work as a choreographer and what he brings to the skating world, but he has done so many programs that I will have to think about which ones I like best.

I am addicted to this EvaLotta Kiibus sp by Benoit https://youtu.be/d24S0ofpezU?si=lR3yLm6etxfHBJQ7

Two of my most favorite Benoit Richaud programs that he did earlier on in his career. And the first time either of these songs were used in figure skating.

Benoit is featured in a new Olympic channel series on YouTube. I would have preferred if the series featured multiple choreographers with different approaches, but such a wide range of skaters go to him for choreography that it's also a chance to get a behind the scenes look at their programs. I put it on my watchlist. Has anyone else watched it?
