This is an announcement that certainly delighted Nathalie Péchalat's many admirers, who will have the chance to benefit from her expertise throughout the year. Alongside journalists Marie-Christelle Maury and Annick Dumont, the former figure skating star was chosen to replace Nelson Monfort and Philippe Candeloro in the commentary of the skating events for France Télévisions. Well surrounded for a big change, the mother of Jean Dujardin's daughters, Jeanne and Alice (8 and 3 years old), has therefore started her new role as a full-time consultant and she is currently in Grenoble (Isère) on occasion of the ISU Grand Prix final.
If she went to the comments, Nathalie Péchalat, whose new departure is already debated, does not forget that she was a great champion. Double European champion and fourth at the Sochi Winter Olympics alongside Fabian Bourzat, she wanted to show that she still had it under her belt. On her Instagram account, where she is followed by more than 76,000 subscribers, she published a video this weekend in which we see her skating on the Polesud ice rink in Grenoble and visibly, she has lost none of her grace and talent. “Treading the ice at the ISU Grand Prix Final. Enjoy the speed, the glidethe sound of the blades (Re)finding your balance”writes the one we saw radiant solo opposite Jean-Baptiste Marteau recently.
Nathalie Péchalat rediscovers the pleasure of skating
A little video that was enjoyed by several athletes including Estelle Mossely, Robert Pirès and Camille Lacourt. “Feel the pain in your thighs (you're welcome, it doesn't progress on its own, it requires effort) To think that before we were able to skate a 4-minute program with technical and physical difficulties. That we trained 6 to 8 hours a day… “, remembers the mother of Jean Dujardin's daughters, before adding: “But that was before. There it's just a reminder, a stolen momenta Madeleine by Proust.”
A good moment for the one who found herself hundreds of kilometers from Paris and Jean Dujardin a few days ago and who is preparing to comment on the ISU Grand Prix Final.
