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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
