Recently I traveled to Anaheim, CA, to cover the ISU 2019 Four Continents Championship for Figure Skaters Online. While I was there, I had the great pleasure of chatting with pairs coach Richard Gauthier of Canada. As most pairs fans know, Gauthier has been among the world’s top pairs coaches for 15 years or longer, having coached such famous teams as Jamie Sale/David Pelletier and Meagan Duhamel/Eric Radford to World championships. Currently he works with coaching partner Bruno Marcotte in Montreal, where they have a pairs school including teams such as Moore-Towers/Marinaro, Alexandrovskaya/Windsor, Ruest/Wolfe, and more. During our chat in Anaheim, Gauthier shared some updates on his current teams, broke down the field of top pairs heading into 2019 Worlds, and gave his opinion on how recent rules changes have affected pairs. Take a few minutes to check out our interview!
