The first of the Grand Prix events of this Olympic season was the Trophy Eric Bombard in Paris, France. Romain Gazave, himself being a pro-skater, took it upon him to have a short chat with several skaters, asking them a few fun questions. Current French Ice Dance Champions Nathalie & Fabian happily obliged for the third and final part of the series.
