Gabriella Papadakis, born 10 May 1995 in Clermont-Ferrand, France, and Guillaume Cizeron, born 12 November 1994 in Montbrison, France, competed in ice dance for France. They are the 2022 Winter Olympic champions, the 2018 Winter Olympic silver medallists, the 2015, 2016, 2018, 2019 and 2022 World Champions, the 2015-2019 European champions, the 2017 and 2019 Grand Prix Final champions, and seven time French champions in ice dance (2015–2021).
They have won ten gold medals on the Grand Prix series. Earlier in their career, they won silver at the 2012 Junior Grand Prix Final and at the 2013 World Junior Championships.
The team took a hiatus from competition, following the 2022 Olympics. They officially announced their retirement as competitive ice dancing team on December 3, 2024. During a podcast interview with Championnes du Monde, Papadakis said that the main reason behind her and Cizeron's decision to split was due to her values no longer aligning with those of her partner, her coaches, and the French Federation of Ice Sports. She further said that she felt the Ice Academy of Montreal (IAM) no longer felt like a healthy training environment for her.
The team was originally trained by Papadakis' mother Catherine. In mid-June 2012, Papadakis & Cizeron decided to move to Lyon, France to train with new coaches Muriel Zazoui, Romain Haguenauer, and Olivier Schoenfelder.
In July 2014, Papadakis & Cizeron relocated to Montreal, Quebec, Canada, when their coach Romain Haguenauer moved there. Marie-France Dubreuil, Patrice Lauzon, and Pascal Denis joined Haguenauer as the duo's coaches at Ice Academy of Montreal.

I really like the two of them and this may turn out to be a change for the best (hopefully). And I agree with Mattieu, they really didn't have any other option...so sending them the best of luck!
sorry I couldn't resist 
I like H/D the same and I was exactly thinking about them when I was meditating on their direct rivals for the 8th place
