Lorine Schild

Lorine Schild was born on January 6, 2005, in Reims, France, and began her figure skating journey in 2009 with the Club de patinage artistique de Reims. Early in her career, she quickly demonstrated her talent, winning her first national medal, a bronze, at the 2019 French Junior Championships. She made her Junior Grand Prix debut in 2019 at the JGP France, placing seventeenth, and went on to compete at the senior level of the French Championships for the first time in 2020, where she finished fourth, while also securing a second consecutive bronze at the junior championships. Throughout her junior career, Schild continuously improved, earning silver medals at the 2020 Master’s de Patinage and the 2021 Tallink Hotels Cup. A significant junior achievement came in 2022 when she won the gold medal at the European Youth Olympic Winter Festival, demonstrating a substantial lead over her competitors. She concluded her junior career with a strong eleventh-place finish at the 2023 World Junior Championships.

Schild’s transition to the senior international circuit marked a period of consistent performance and notable achievements. She continued to secure top placements at national events, winning silver at the French Championships in both 2022 and 2023, and ultimately claiming her first French senior national title in 2024. On the international stage, she debuted on the Grand Prix circuit in the 2023-24 season, achieving an eighth-place finish at the Grand Prix de France and a fifth-place finish at the Grand Prix of Espoo, where she remarked, finding herself “so happy” to receive two assignments and stating she “would never have imagined these good results.” This season also saw her make her European Championship debut in 2024, where she impressively finished fifth overall, surpassing her personal goal of a top-ten placement. Her dedication to her craft is further exemplified by her proactive approach to performance, including attending theatre classes to enhance her emotional expression on ice, a practice she described as helping her “feel confident and to express emotion.”

The 2024-25 season further solidified Schild’s standing as a senior competitor, with a bronze medal at the CS Budapest Trophy and fourth-place finishes at the CS Warsaw Cup. Despite an ankle injury leading to her withdrawal from the 2024 French Championships, she made a strong return to compete at the 2025 European Championships, finishing tenth, and subsequently placed fifteenth at the 2025 World Championships. She also contributed to Team France’s fourth-place finish at the 2025 World Team Trophy, where she placed eighth individually in the women’s singles event. Currently a high school student, Schild balances her academic pursuits with her demanding training schedule, continuously working with coaches like Malika Tahir and choreographers such as Massimo Scali and Gabriella Papadakis to refine her programs.
