Fournier Beaudry and Sørensen previously competed for Denmark, winning six ISU Challenger Series medals and representing Denmark at the World and European championships.[1] In March 2018, Denmark released them to represent Canada after she was unable to obtain Danish citizenship to compete at the 2018 Winter Olympics.[2]
Early career
Fournier Beaudry initially focused on gymnastics, and began skating in 2001 at the urging of her parents, who were recreational skaters. Early in her career, she competed with Anthony Quintal.[5] Together with Yoan Breton, she appeared on the ISU Junior Grand Prix series in 2011. Following that, Breton retired, having achieved his goal of competing internationally.[6][7]
Partnership with Sørensen
Fournier Beaudry had a tryout with Danish ice dancer Nikolaj Sørensen in February 2012.[6] He decided to team up with Vanessa Crone, but called Fournier Beaudry five months later, shortly after Crone’s decision not to compete with him.[6]
Fournier Beaudry and Sørensen decided to represent Denmark while continuing to train under Marie-France Dubreuil and Patrice Lauzon in Montreal, Quebec.
