Gabriella Papadakis & Guillaume Cizeron

Thank you Alain. I loved both SD and FD costumes so I don't know what to think but every one seems to have waited for the olympics to unveil new costumes, keeping it fresh and surprising I guess. Someone mentioned funnily enough on FSU the big surprise would be Guillaume wearing sleeves, he might be onto something :biggrin:
 
I just wanted to pop by and say a big thank you to Alain! Thank you for sharing all the news about Gabby and Guillaume - we all really appreciate it :) It's also super nice to have an in and find out before the news does :agree2: You've been a fabulous contributor - thanks for all the time and hard work!
 
On her instagram stories, Gabby congratulates new french olympic champions and tells : on arrive (we are coming !!!)
 
Sounds like it's sometimes hard to rely on media information.

Gaby and Guillaume will fly from Montréal to South Korea on Tuesday morning (Feb 13th). They will attend their first OG practice on Wednesday morning (Feb 14th).

Their preparation went extremely well in Montréal, including their physical preparation (which is also a key element). They are serene. Their new SD and FD programs are ready. Last but not least, I'm sure you'll love their new costumes (but I won't tell for which program...) ;)

Really hoping its for the SD, because I've hated that green thing all season long.

Of course they'd be serene. What on earth do they have to be nervous about? They're undefeated, the judges love them and their programs...the last time the IE was this solid of a lock was for D/W in 2014. They get to just come in like the masters they are and everyone get ready to be completely blown away.
 
Well if it took 30 hours to make SD costume I think it may be FD ones. Simple but with sparkles!

I think the SD ones are fine as they are. Maybe the same but different colour? orange /red?

I hope Gabby keeps her hair in pony tail though for SD.
 
I'm sure you'll love their new costumes (but I won't tell for which program...) ;)

Oooh, interesting. I'll bet on SD? I don't think the FD costumes can be improved on. :)

Looking forward to seeing the new versions of both programs!

My money is on the Moonlight Sonata. The costumes for the Ed Sheeran work so well and are so spot on; combined with the fact that the bling thing took 30 hours to make, it would be weird if they changed that.
On the other hand, the FD costumes are very simple, even though I know that for many people that is a quality. For me, they are not really fitting with the complexity and magic of the program, I really hope they will be something more elaborate without of course becoming flashy show-off things. I'm sure that Guillaume and Sophie have come up with something stylish and simple that still has a little more dreamy or fantasy touches to it than the plain blue dress and the stained cream blouse. :laugh:

Hey All that, strange that we disagree so totally on a costume ah! :p :laugh: Let's see who has the better prediction on this one! (To be honest, I think if you would have to put money on it, you would also predict the HD, right?)
 
Of course... Guillaume will want to match Gabi, and decided to repurpose Carolina's lime jumpsuit! (Please, god, no... :roll9:)

I suspect that they might have left already today (Monday of the 12th) if they are scheduled for practice on the 14th. It will take about 14 hours (or more since they are coming from the East Coast of Canada) from North America to South Korea via the Pacific. Given the time difference, if (for example) they left Montreal at noon today (the 12th), they would arrive in South Korea on the afternoon of the 13th after a 14-hour or so flight. Then they get to rest one night. Wow! They will be practicing with a jet lag on the 14th! They probably are used to that already. I am glad that they are SERENE. That is so important!

I can't wait for these new costumes you are talking about, alain06fr!! My money is on the FD costumes. Can you give us a hint? :-)) I hope it doesn't clash with the purple-y ice rink walls. :-) I, too, have been checking their Twitter and Instagram accounts several times a day for fresh news! Glad that you have given us some news we can't get elsewhere!
 
Once again, don't be nervous, we have to trust them. They deserve it.

Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes.
This is going to be such a brilliant moment, it will go into the history books.
This will be something to cherish and enjoy thoroughly!

One more week to go!

Please tell me they fly business-class...

Oh no, no sparkles please! I'm praying Gabby keeps the same blue dress, no adjustments whatsoever. :pray: :biggrin:

Oh That is for sure, they won't do a 13+ hours flights in economy... I've noticed with some details on social media that a lot of the top teams this year have been flying business-class :laugh:

It's a good thing to stay active to fight the jet lag actually ! going for a run, going to practice anf feel the ice, going for a walk... you can regulate yourself better - and sleep correctly through the night ! :thumbsup:
But they've traveled so much this year, they are probably the ID team that traveled the most if you look at the field :drama: The perks of being very young :drama:

Thank you StormyCloudss :) There are so many great people and great contributors from so many countries in this thread. That's why I enjoy sharing information whenever possible.
 
I agree ! I love their FD costumes so much ! And sleeves are more elegant to me, so I hope Guillaume won't drop his gorgeous top (so refined, with the drapery effect) for a sleeveless one...But I trust him, he's an artist (french with that), so he knows the combination of elegance and sobriety ;-) I absolutly love Gabriella's dress (although I prefered the dark blue one, the one from COC). But since it's "Moonlight Sonata", I'd have added some mineral elements, some subtle "stones" (fake of course 😒) on her collar and her lower back...Do you remember Carolina Kostner's dress from last year FD (Vivaldi," Nisi Dominus, Cum Dederit") ? It was gorgeous !

So yes, I hope they'll make that type of subtle changes. But they're always classy, so I don't expect anything too flashy...They perfectly understand the spirit of the music, and they have probably picked costumes that enhance the sublimity of this program.
 
Aloha everyone,

They're currently on their way to Seoul. They will arrived around 3:30pm on the 14.02 (Corean time). So no practice for them tomorrow, but they will be fresh and maybe well-rested for practice on 15.02.

Have a good day/night/meal/or everything else

I'm amazed how relaxed they are about arriving early and getting used to the conditions. Is this their usual arrival time for a GP event?
