France's New Ice-Dance Duo Comes With a Complicated Past
France's newly formed ice-dancing pair Guillaume Cizeron and Laurence Fournier Beaudry captivate Olympic audiences with a Vogue-inspired routine, but their ascent is entwined with a troubled history: Cizeron's former partner Gabriella Papadakis published a memoir accusing him of controlling behavior and was later fired by NBC, while Fournier Beaudry's partner Nikolaj Sørensen faced a lengthy sexual-misconduct case and an unsettled suspension. The piece argues that media coverage often centers the new pair while survivor voices and ongoing abuse-in-sport debates receive less attention, a dynamic also shaped by documentaries like Glitter & Gold.
