Career
Schoenfelder began skating after seeing Isabelle and Paul Duchesnay at an ice show and switched to ice dancing after only six months in singles.[1]
Delobel and Schoenfelder were paired together in 1990 by coach Lydie Bontemps on the suggestion of
They won their first national championship in the 2002–03 season. Delobel and Schoenfelder worked with choreographer Pasquale Camerlengo for the 2005-06 season.[5]
Delobel and Schoenfelder often finished just off the podium at major events,
Delobel and Schoenfelder did not repeat as European champions the following year, finishing second. They then went on to win the 2008 World Championships. They were first in both the compulsory and original dance portions of the event, and second in the free dance.[8] They considered retiring but decided to continue competing.[9]
They began the 2008–09 season with wins in all three Grand Prix appearances –
Delobel became pregnant during the injury layoff.[11] She and Schoenfelder trained cautiously, with Marie-France Dubreuil substituting for Delobel in lifts.[12] Dubreuil, along with Patrice Lauzon, also choreographed their final free dance.[12] Occasional falls caused Delobel to leave the ice in late July.[11]
Delobel's son was born in October and she returned to the ice toward the end of the month, beginning three-a-day sessions and intense physical training in November.[11] They also skipped French Nationals and the European Championships in order to spend more time on training.[11] The two returned in time for the Vancouver Olympics, competing just four-and-a-half months after she had given birth and announcing it would be their final competition.[13] They finished sixth and retired from competitive skating.[14] They continue to skate together in shows.[15]
Schoenfelder now coaches in Lyon.[16] Among others, he coaches Lucie Myslivečková / Neil Brown and Louise Walden / Owen Edwards.
Personal life
Schoenfelder studied ballet before taking up skating, as his mother is a ballet instructor.[1] Schoenfelder studied journalism and has done some television commentating.[15]
In May 2005, he married Isabelle Pecheur. They have a son together, Gabriel, born on 26 October 2006.[3][17]
