Laurence Fournier Beaudry, born on July eighteenth, nineteen ninety-two, is a distinguished ice dancer representing both Canada and France. Partnered with Guillaume Cizeron, she has achieved remarkable success, including being crowned the Olympic champion, World champion, and European champion in two thousand twenty-six. Her accolades also include a silver medal at the Grand Prix Final for the twenty twenty-five to twenty-six season, two Grand Prix championships, and the title of French national champion in the same year.
Before teaming up with Cizeron, Fournier Beaudry skated with Nikolaj Sørensen, with whom she earned the title of two-time Four Continents silver medalist. Their partnership yielded an impressive eight Grand Prix medals, highlighted by a gold medal at the two thousand twenty-two NHK Trophy. Additionally, they secured five Challenger medals, including gold at the two thousand nineteen CS Nebelhorn Trophy and the two thousand twenty-two CS Finlandia Trophy, and were crowned the Canadian national champions in two thousand twenty-three.
Fournier Beaudry and Sørensen initially represented Denmark, where they garnered six ISU Challenger Series medals and competed at both the World and European championships. However, in March two thousand eighteen, they transitioned to represent Canada after Fournier Beaudry faced challenges in obtaining Danish citizenship, which prevented her from competing at the two thousand eighteen Winter Olympics.
