Frédéric Dambier (born December 26, 1977) is a French figure skater. He is a four-time French national silver medalist and competed at two Olympic Games. He twice placed fourth at the European Figure Skating Championships. He is the first French skater to land a quadruple salchow in competition.
Dambier started skating when he was about six or seven years old when a neighbor took him to the small ice rink of Joué les Tours.[1] He landed his first triple jump, the salchow, at 14, and his first quad salchow when he was 19.[1] He was coached by Annick Gailhaguet, Pierre Trente, Diane Scotnicka and Li Ping, and his choreographers included Olga Leonovich and Shanti Rushpaul.[1]
After retiring from competitive skating in August 2006, Dambier participated in numerous ice shows including Holiday on Ice, Generali on Ice and Les Étoiles de la Glace. He also coached in the clubs of Cape Town in South Africa in 2007.
During the school year 2006/2007, he studied at the Centre for Law and Economics of Sport in Limoges and obtained a Master of Law Economics Sports.
Since September 1, 2008, he is Athletic Director of Cité Internationale Universitaire de Paris. He still performs and works as a choreographer.
