Laurence Fournier Beaudry

[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.

[3][4][5][6] Fournier Beaudry initially focused on gymnastics and began skating in 2001 at the age of nine after the urging of her parents, who were recreational skaters.

[10] Fournier Beaudry and Sørensen decided to represent Denmark while continuing to train under Marie-France Dubreuil and Patrice Lauzon in Montreal, Quebec.

[10] Making their international competition debut in the fall of 2013, they won gold at the 2013 Pavel Roman Memorial, silver at the 2013 Ice Challenge, and bronze at the Toruń Cup.

On the Challenger Series, Fournier Beaudry and Sørensen won their second bronze medal at the Autumn Classic International, and placed fourth at the Finlandia Trophy.

Due to their result, Denmark qualified a spot in the ice dancing event at the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea.

At their sole Grand Prix event for the season, the 2017 NHK Trophy, Fournier Beaudry and Sørensen placed fifth.

[15] Following the 2018 European Championships, where they placed ninth, the two reassessed their options and decided to switch countries and compete for Canada.

[2] Speaking of the challenges later, Fournier Beaudry remarked that they had been welcomed by Skate Canada and that the Danish federation had always been supportive.

[15] Fournier Beaudry chose Adiós Nonino for the rhythm dance, creating a cut of different instrumental and lyrical versions.

They followed this with a gold medal at the Nebelhorn Trophy, their first Challenger title, increasing their personal best score by over ten points.

Fournier Beaudry remarked on the occasion, "stepping onto that podium is everybody’s dream, so to finally be able to do it in our first Grand Prix skating for Canada after not being on the circuit last year is just very exciting.

[21] Third as well in the free dance, despite some minor issues resulting in a lower score than at previous events, they won their second Grand Prix bronze.

[28][29] On February 25, Fournier Beaudry and Sørenson were announced as part of the Canadian team to the 2021 World Championships in Stockholm.

"[32] Their placement combined with Gilles/Poirier's bronze medal win qualified three berths for Canadian dance teams at the 2022 Winter Olympics.

[38] At the 2022 Canadian Championships, held without an audience in Ottawa due to the pandemic, Fournier Beaudry/Sørenson placed second in both segments of the competition to take the silver medal.

They debuted a new free dance rechoreographed to Hans Zimmer and Lisa Gerrard's score to Gladiator, a decision made three weeks prior.

[40] Speaking on the occasion to Danish TV 2, Sørenson reflected "it's a shame that we could not compete for Denmark, because we have never been to the Olympics in ice dancing.

[45] Sørenson struggled with a back injury during the competition, which caused problems in the free dance when their closing lift was aborted, dropping them from eighth to ninth place.

"[46] For their free dance in the new season, Fournier Beaudry and Sørenson conceived of a program utilizing two styles of flamenco, inspired by pieces of Ennio Morricone's music used in the soundtrack for Kill Bill.

Fournier Beaudry said that "we have high aspirations, and we want to go to the Grand Prix Final, so we are one step closer to our goal for this season.

However, they finished first in the rhythm dance with a new personal best score of 85.66, 0.66 points ahead of pre-event favourites and training partners Chock/Bates of the United States.

Fournier Beaudry called it "a dream come true and something we have worked for for a very long time," while Sørenson added, "thinking back and getting to where we are right now is just amazing.

"[50][51][52] Fournier Beaudry/Sørenson finished fourth in the rhythm dance at the Grand Prix Final in Turin, 1.39 points back of third-place Guignard/Fabbri of Italy.

In the free dance, Fournier Beaudry tripped on her skirt in the midst of their choreographic slide move at the end of the program, costing them that element.

"[61] With the World Championships being held in Montreal, in replacement for the cancelled 2020 edition, Fournier Beaudry and Sørenson opted for a free dance to the Franco-Canadian musical Notre-Dame de Paris, citing the involvement of prominent Quebecois Luc Plamondon and Gilles Maheu.

"[69] Despite the controversy, the pair competed as previously scheduled at the 2024 Four Continents Championships in Shanghai, winning their second consecutive silver medal.
