By Canadian Press on October 18, 2025.

ANGERS — Canadian ice dancers Marie-Jade Lauriault and Romain Le Gac placed sixth in the rhythm dance at the figure skating Grand Prix de France on Saturday.

The duo got a score of 73.75 in the event, with the free dance taking place Sunday.

Great Britain’s Lilah Fear and Lewis Gibson are the leaders at 84.38 going into the second segment of the ice dance competition.

Lithuania’s Allison Reed and Saulius Ambrulevicius are in second (80.98) and France’s Laurence Fournier Beaudry and Guillaume Cizeron (78.00) in third.

Fournier Beaudry, from Montreal, teamed up with Cizeron, a two-time Olympic medallist, in January.

Her previous partner, Nikolaj Sorensen, was handed a six-year suspension for sexual maltreatment in October 2024, but an arbitrator overturned the suspension in June.
