Biography

Christopher Boyadji (born 15 July 1990) is a French pair skater who represents the United Kingdom with Zoe Jones. With former partner Amani Fancy, he is the 2014 and 2016 and with Jones 2017 British national champion.

Career

For France

Boyadji began skating at the age of 7½ after watching Philippe Candeloro on television. As a competitor in men's singles, he was coached by Diana Skotnická in Courbevoie and by Sylvain Privé. He represented France at five ISU Junior Grand Prix events and the 2009 Winter Universiade.

Boyadji competed with Camille Mendoza for France in the 2011–12 season. They finished 16th at the 2012 World Junior Championships in Minsk, Belarus. The pair trained in Paris and Montreal under Vivien Rolland and Diana Skotnická.

Boyadji teamed up with British skater Amani Fancy in spring 2013. After winning the 2014 British national title, they were sent to the 2014 European Championships in Budapest, where they placed 15th. The pair finished 18th at the 2014 World Championships in Saitama, Japan.

Following an elbow surgery in November 2014, the pair was unable to compete at the 2015 British Championships. They were sent to the 2015 European Championships in Stockholm, where they placed 12th. The pair finished 16th at the 2015 World Championships in Shanghai.

In January 2016, they announced the end of their partnership, withdrawing from both the 2016 European and 2016 World Championships.
