Laurence Fournier Beaudry & Nikolaj Soerensen are ice dancers who represent Canada. Fournier-Beaudry was born on July 18, 1992 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, while Soerensen was born on Feb 18, 1989, in Copenhagen, Denmark. Fournier Beaudry and Soerensen represented Denmark until January 2018, but then decided to represent Canada as Fournier Beaudry was unable to obtain Danish citizenship.
They are the 2023 Canadian National champions, the 2024 Four Continents silver medalists, the 2022 NHK Trophy champions and the 2022 GP de France silver medalists. They qualified for the 2022-23 and 2023-2024 GPFs.
The team won the bronze medal at the 2019 Canadian championships. The 2019 season started well for the team. Fournier Beaudry and Soerensen won their first Challenger gold medals at the 2019 Nebelhorn Trophy. They won the overall bronze medal in the 2019-20 Challenger Series!
They also won bronze medals on the senior Grand Prix at 2019 Skate America and 2019 Cup of China, finishing eighth overall on the Senior Grand Prix.
Following Cup of China, Soerensen underwent a cartilage graft and a meniscotomy to repair his knee, which forced the team to miss the 2020 Canadian Championships. The team had been assigned to skate in the world championships for Canada, which was cancelled due to the coronavirus epidemic.

This team caught a lot a people's attention after finishing an impressive 11th at the 2015 worlds, and I confess I didn't actually watch their worlds performances
But when I saw that they needed a fan fest, I decided to watch them on YouTube, and I was very impressed! They have beautiful flow and transitions, and there is just a really pleasing quality about their skating. Considering that Papadakis & Cizeron went from 13th to world champs in a season, they could definitely be a factor next year, with the right vehicle and a couple of great skates! Of all the things I like about this couple, I think my favorite is their musicality, and I bet that's going to play in their favor, but they still have a lot of room for improvement and so much potential. I can't wait to see what they'll do!
They are the 2023 Canadian National champions, the 2024 Four Continents silver medalists, the 2022 NHK Trophy champions and the 2022 GP de France silver medalists. They qualified for the 2022-23 and 2023-2024 GPFs.
The team won the bronze medal at the 2019 Canadian championships. The 2019 season started well for the team. Fournier Beaudry and Soerensen won their first Challenger gold medals at the 2019 Nebelhorn Trophy. They won the overall bronze medal in the 2019-20 Challenger Series!
They also won bronze medals on the senior Grand Prix at 2019 Skate America and 2019 Cup of China, finishing eighth overall on the Senior Grand Prix.
Following Cup of China, Soerensen underwent a cartilage graft and a meniscotomy to repair his knee, which forced the team to miss the 2020 Canadian Championships. The team had been assigned to skate in the world championships for Canada, which was cancelled due to the coronavirus epidemic.

I first saw them at the Challenger Series Senior B, Skate Canada Autumn Classic. The event was won by Papadakis & Cizeron, but I liked Laurence and Nikolaj better, particularly in the paso doble
Here are the videos from the event:

Original Post by Layback11 September 5, 2015
This team caught a lot a people's attention after finishing an impressive 11th at the 2015 worlds, and I confess I didn't actually watch their worlds performances
But when I saw that they needed a fan fest, I decided to watch them on YouTube, and I was very impressed! They have beautiful flow and transitions, and there is just a really pleasing quality about their skating. Considering that Papadakis & Cizeron went from 13th to world champs in a season, they could definitely be a factor next year, with the right vehicle and a couple of great skates! Of all the things I like about this couple, I think my favorite is their musicality, and I bet that's going to play in their favor, but they still have a lot of room for improvement and so much potential. I can't wait to see what they'll do!

It takes me almost half an hour just to get the thread up and running with only their ISU bios and some videos of them, so I can only imagine how much effort goes into making updates like these! Very, very much appreciated!
The connection between the two of them and the stalkerish intensity that he looks at her with in the free is amazing. It's a shame about the Olympics but I cannot wait until Worlds to see them again :hap93:
