Romain Le Gac (born 31 May 1995) is a French ice dancer. With Marie-Jade Lauriault, he is the 2016 International Cup of Nice champion, the 2015 ISU Junior Grand Prix in Spain champion, and a two-time French national silver medalist. They have competed in the final segment at two ISU Championships.

Personal life

Romain Le Gac was born on 31 May 1995 in Nogent-sur-Marne, France.[1] He moved to Montreal, Quebec, Canada in July 2014.[2] He married Marie-Jade Lauriault in December 2015.[3] He has expressed interest in working as an osteopath.[4]

Early career

Le Gac began skating in 2001.[1] Disliking jumps, he switched from singles to ice dancing two years later.[4]

Le Gac debuted on the junior international level with Estelle Elizabeth in the 2010–11 season. In January 2012, they represented France at the Winter Youth Olympics in Innsbruck, Austria, placing 6th in the short dance, 5th in the free dance, and 5th overall. They won bronze in the team event.

Elizabeth/Le Gac finished 15th at the 2013 World Junior Championships in Milan after ranking 13th in the short and 18th in the free dance. They placed 11th in both segments and 11th overall at the 2014 World Junior Championships in Sofia, Bulgaria. They were coached by Muriel Boucher-Zazoui, Romain Haguenauer, and Olivier Schoenfelder in Lyon.[5] Their partnership ended around July 2014 due to personal problems.[3]

Partnership with Lauriault

2018 European Championships

Le Gac relocated with Haguenauer to Montreal, Quebec in July 2014 and was paired with Canadian ice dancer Marie-Jade Lauriault the same month.[2][3] The two decided to represent France. They are coached by Haguenauer, Patrice Lauzon, Pascal Denis, and Marie-France Dubreuil in Montreal.[1]

Lauriault/Le Gac competed on the senior level in the 2014–15 season. They won silver at the Open d'Andorra and finished 9th at the 2014 CS Golden Spin of Zagreb before taking silver at the French Championships.

Lauriault/Le Gac decided to compete on the junior level in 2015–16. They won two medals on the Junior Grand Prix (JGP) series — silver in Linz, Austria and gold in Logroño, Spain. Their results gave them a spot at the JGP Final in Barcelona, where they finished fifth. In February 2016, they won gold at the French Junior Championships ahead of Angélique Abachkina / Louis Thauron. In March, they represented France at the 2016 World Junior Championships in Debrecen, Hungary, placing third in the short dance and 8th overall, just behind of Angélique Abachkina / Louis Thauron, placed 7th. Over eight days in April, they skated in ten ice shows in France.[3]
