Career
Early career
Fabian Bourzat began skating at the age of six or seven, from the start in ice dancing. His early coach was Dominique Kernersson. In 2000, Bourzat was teamed up with Nathalie Péchalat by then-coach Muriel Zazoui. The two did not get along well at first but gradually became friends. In a 2011 interview, Péchalat said that she and Bourzat have different personalities but that he is the ideal skating partner for her: "He is very gifted. He works through feeling and inspiration. As soon as he feels a move, he can reproduce it and interpret it. He does not need to intellectualize." According to Bourzat, "Nathalie is always pulling the couple ahead and pushing us to work. She brings her extraordinary capacity to work. She always wants to do everything perfectly." They skated as juniors for two years, winning two Junior Grand Prix medals, before moving to seniors at the beginning of the 2002-3 season.2003–2006
