Stéphane Bernadis

Stéphane Bernadis (born 23 February 1974) is a French former pair skater. With partner Sarah Abitbol, he is the 2000 World bronze medalist.
Career
Bernadis began skating at age eight because of his mother, English skater Donna Davies. He teamed up with Sarah Abitbol in 1992. Abitbol/Bernadis were coached by Jean-Roland Racle early in their career and then by Stanislav Leonovich in Paris.
At the 2000 World Championships in Nice, France, Bernadis said he was attacked by an unknown assailant with a razor on March 28 when he opened his hotel room door – resulting in an eight inch cut down his left forearm. Bernadis said he had received a death threat three weeks earlier. At the event, he and Abitbol won the bronze medal, becoming the first French pair skaters to win a World medal since Andrée Brunet / Pierre Brunet won gold in 1932.
An injury to Bernadis led the pair to withdraw after the short program from the 2001 World Championships...
