Personal life

Lecavelier was born on 26 April 1996 in Enghien-les-Bains, France.[1] As of October 2016, she is a sociology student.[2]

Career

Lecavelier began learning to skate in 2001.[1] Her first coach was Katia Lemaire in Garges-lès-Gonesse.[3][2]

She debuted on the ISU Junior Grand Prix series in 2011.

2012–13 season

Lecavelier won her first senior national medal, bronze, at the 2013 French Championships and was sent to the 2013 World Junior Championships in Milan. She finished 13th after placing 9th in the short program and 15th in the free skate.

2013–14 season

Lecavelier won silver at the French Championships and was selected to compete at the 2014 European Championships in Budapest. Ranked 13th in the short and 11th in the free, she finished 13th overall.

2014–15 season

Lecavelier made her Grand Prix debut, placing 11th at the 2014 Trophée Éric Bompard. After repeating as the national silver medalist, she finished 10th at the 2015 European Championships in Stockholm, having placed 13th in the short and 10th in the free. She was fourth at the 2015 Winter Universiade. She trained under Lemaire in Garges-lès-Gonesse until the end of the season.[4]

2015–16 season

During the 2015–16 season, Lecavelier was coached by Claude Thévenard at Pôle France in Bercy, Paris.[5][2] She won a bronze medal at the 2015 International Cup of Nice. She placed 12th in the short program at the 2015 Trophée Éric Bompard before the event was cancelled due to the November 2015 Paris attacks; the short program standings became the final results. Later that month, she was awarded gold at the NRW Trophy.

Ranked 13th in the short and 9th in the free, Lecavelier finished 10th overall at the 2016 European Championships in Bratislava, Slovakia. She then took silver at the Cup of Tyrol in Austria. Her short program placement, 31st, kept her out of the final segment at the 2016 World Championships in Boston, United States. Her season was hampered by a stress fracture in the pubic bone.[2]

2016–17 season

Around June 2016, Katia Gentelet began coaching Lecavelier at Nice Baie des Anges Association in Nice.[2] Lecavelier won bronze at the International Cup of Nice and finished 6th at the Trophée de France, having ranked 4th in the short program and 7th in the free skate. In December, she took gold at the French Championships in Caen.

In January 2017, Lecavelier placed 5th overall (5th in the short, 4th in the free) at the European Championships in Ostrava, achieving her career-best continental result.
