Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: They withdrew due to illness.

Marie-France had a respiratory infection which started at the Canadian Championships, and they were unable to compete at this event.
2. What is the name of the composer/choreographer that helped them with some of their programs?

Answer: Majoly

Majoly, a friend of theirs from Montreal composed the music for their 2002-2003 free dance, "Dance With My Heart". She also composed the music for their 2003-2004 exhibition program "L'Oiseau" (aka the bird number) and helped with the choreography for both programs.
3. What costume problem did they have at Skate Canada in 1999?

Answer: Marie-France's blade got caught on her skirt.

At the 2002 Olympics, a bow on Marie's sleeve caught on Patrice's button. However at Skate Canada in 1999, Marie's blade caught on her skirt and caused them to miss almost half of their circular footwork sequence. She now wears shorter skirts.
4. Put these free dances in order from the 1999-2004 seasons:

Answer: The Feeling Begins, Life is Beautiful, Victorious Titus, Madam Butterfly, Dance with my Heart, Gotan Project

Marie-France and Patrice have used many different styles in their free dances.

Answer: True

They were married in 2008. They live together in Lyon, France.

Answer: 10th

They placed an incredible 10th at their very first Worlds in Nice, France, in 2000.
7. In which season did Marie and Patrice first compete at the Grand Prix Final?

Answer: 2000-2001

They competed at their first Grand Prix Final in the 2000-2001 season in Tokyo, where they placed 6th. They were the 2nd alternates but Marina Anissina & Gwendal Peizerat withdrew due to injury, and 1st alternates Shae-Lynn Bourne & Victor Kraatz declined due to illness. Marie & Patrice found out at the last minute that they would be competing at this event and had only one day to prepare!
8. In which year did they win their first Canadian national title?

Answer: 2000

Canadian dance champs Shae-Lynn Bourne & Victor Kraatz were not competing due to injury, and Marie & Patrice took the Gold. It was their first medal at a Senior Canadian Championship.
9. What is the name of their coach that retired?

Answer: Sylvie Fullum

After coaching Marie and Patrice at the 2002 Olympics and World Championships, Sylvie told them she had achieved her goal of taking them to the Olympics, she did what she could, but she couldn't do it anymore. It was a major shock to everyone as she hadn't even told her husband before Worlds!
10. In which year did Marie-France and Patrice move to France?

Answer: 2002

They moved to Lyon, France, in the summer of 2002, after the retirement of their coach. They started training there with coach Muriel Boucher-Zazoui who had previously done their choreography. They got there with tons of luggage, the dog, and nowhere to go. They lived in a hotel for quite a while before finally finding a place to live.
11. What music have Marie and Patrice NOT used for an exhibition program?

Answer: Life is Beautiful

They skated to Life is Beautiful for their free dance in the 1999-2000 season, but have never used it as a show program. Maria de Buenos Aires was their 2001-2002 OD, but they also used part of the same music (along with another piece from that operita) for a show program involving a chair and a scarf.
12. Who bought Marie-France her first pair of skates?

Answer: her grandmother

4 year old Marie wanted to take up skating but her mom didn't want her to. So she asked her grandmother for a pair of skates for her 5th birthday and got them.
13. What year did Marie and Patrice start skating together?

Answer: 1995

Both were partner-less and Marie knew she wanted to skate with Patrice, so she asked him if he was interested in a tryout. At first he said he thought he would take a year off, but maybe they could have a tryout later. She told him it was now or never. They tried out, and it turned out great.
14. Who creates most of their lifts?

Answer: Patrice

Patrice dreams up new lifts and gets Marie (who sometimes thinks "Are you trying to kill me") to help him try them out. They have arguably the best dance lifts in the world.
15. When are Marie and Patrice's birthdays?

Answer: August 11/November 26

Marie was born on August 11, 1974, and Patrice was born on November 26, 1975. Both were born in Montreal.
