France Télévisions is reinventing itself. Lulled by the voices of Nelson Monfort and Philippe Candeloro for 18 years, viewers of the channel will have to learn to appreciate new faces. From 1is on November 3 during the French Figure Skating Grand Prix in Angers, Nathalie Péchalat will be alongside Marie-Christelle Maury and Annick Dumont (who remains in post) to comment on the events. Already on Eurosport for a decade, the double European champion (2011, 2012) with her partner Fabien Bourzat is ready to take on this new challenge.
Nathalie, you come to the France TV comments. What feelings do you have before this new collaboration?
I am very honored by this new challenge. Even if I have been commenting on skating on Eurosport for 10 years, here, there are not the same expectations nor the same audience. As soon as there is a change or something new, there is bound to be excitement. I don't necessarily feel apprehensive, but it's true that there are some doubts that can sometimes arise. Living up to the event and the new people I'm going to be with is also the challenge.
“I like challenges and renewal”
Are you completely leaving the Eurosport channel for France Télévisions?
No, I will be able to reconcile the two. When France Télévisions does not have the rights, I will be able to commentate for Eurosport and continue what I have been doing for several years. But…
