Look at us, one week without a GP and the drama
I think we are like ice dance addicts who need our fix, not getting it makes us over analyse everything
I don't believe there is drama in Gadbois as Alain explained it's just a matter of people having more things in common with some rather than with others. It's quite a natural occurrence in life though. It's not because P/C, H/D, S/D and FB/S are hanging out more together than with V/M that there is any drama or that V/M are not lovely people to hang out with. It's just circumstances, mainly them joining the Gadbois club after friendships had already been formed and crazy schedule plus probably a question of affinities. FS/S gave a very interesting interview earlier this year about their work in Gadbois where they talked about how different V/M and P/C training approaches' are and how they interact with their teammates. Mainly, V/M are always willing to share their experience but stay very focused. OTOH Gaby and Guillaume, especially Guillaume, are goofing around making people laugh but not communicating as much about skating.
Here I found it and copy/pasting the extract ( a bit lengthy but interesting) :
We have been training with Gaby and Guillaume for a while – they moved here after the Worlds in Saitama, they finished 13th there, I believe… so they weren’t champions when they came [to Montreal]. They were amazing skaters, we recognized this, we saw it and we were able to say: Wow, they’re amazing! But the big difference [happened after]…
And Gaby and Guillaume haven’t really changed since they started winning. They just stayed the same, and we were always really close to them.
What changed a lot, I think, was when Tessa and Scott came – you can really tell that they have been doing it for a lifetime. They have been seniors for 10 years, they have a lot of experience, they are the most amazing athletes, really committed, you see that they’re…
Laurence: They talk to everybody, they’re taking care of people around them…
Nikolaj: …and even the small ones, not just the seniors. And so it’s just nice to see that they treat everybody so well. They raise the level in the whole school just with attitude only. Cause it’s not really about the skating, it’s about how you handle everyday training, and then for how many days consecutively are you able to train well – that’s what gives the emphasis.
Laurence: It’s always, you know… you’re training in a couple – so, of course, there’s always gonna be frustration in between the two – and they have their way of managing it, I don’t know how it works, but from the outside it really looks amazing. You just wanna look as good as them.
Nikolaj: They’re just great examples. And they wanna be an example, so they do make you a part of their daily [routine] – they see we did a nice program, they’ll come and say: Wow, I really like your programs…
Laurence: You look like you had fun… [you can sense that Laurence and Nikolaj really appreciate the encouragement coming from Tessa and Scott, their daily interaction]
Nikolaj: And Gaby and Guillaume are exactly the same, really: you see how they work, they work amazing together, there is never any friction, they always have fun with their work – but they don’t engage as much as Tessa and Scott, it’s just not their personality. They’re just different people and so – but both amazing teams.
Laurence: Gaby and Guillaume, they have a lot a fun… And when you’re on the ice with them, you get to laugh to some of the things, you get to realize that: Yes, it’s a sport, yes, it’s a lot of pressure, but it’s skating and you still need to have fun whatever you do.
Nikolaj: Yeah, that’s what’s amazing. Whereas Tessa and Scott are a little bit more serious, you see with Guillaume that… I don’t wanna make it sound bad, that they’re not serious, cause they’re serious as well, but the human approach, enjoying life…
Laurence: When sometimes becomes too harsh…
Nikolaj: It’s really nice to see, to realize: Wait a minute, I’m getting angry over a rocker! It’s only skating! Look at Guillaume right now: he’s just having fun, like, you know, it’s not a big deal!
