Career

Early career

Piegad began figure skating in 2010. As a singles skater, she won the silver medal at the 2020 French Junior Championships and finished as high as fifth on the senior level at the French Championships in 2020. She was coached Cedric Tour, Rodolphe Marechal, and Samantha Marechal.[2][3]

She switched to pair skating following the 2019–20 figure skating season and skated with Remi Belmonte for the 2021–22 figure skating season, finishing fifth at the 2021 Tayside Trophy and nineteenth at the 2021 CS Warsaw Cup. Their partnership soon dissolved following that season. They were coached by Claude Thévenard.[4][5]

On January 31, 2022, it was announced that Piegad had formed a new partnership with Ukrainian-born pair skater, Denys Strekalin.[6] Coached by Laurent Depouilly, Nathalie Depouilly, and Dominique Deniaud, the pair made their competitive debut at the 2022 CS Nebelhorn Trophy, where they finished in eleventh place, and then competed at the 2022 Master's de Patinage, winning the silver medal.[7]

Invited to make their Grand Prix debut at the 2022 Grand Prix de France, they finished seventh of seven teams at the event. They went on to place fourth at the 2022 Bavarian Open and seventh at the 2023 International Challenge Cup.[7]
