“Not an Easy One”: Newly Hired Georgia Coach Cecile Landi Answers Burning Questions About Husband

Simone Biles‘ gymnastics coach Cecile Canqueteau-Landi clarified her shifting from World Champions Centre to Georgia GymDogs. However, the WCC has remained adamant about keeping her husband, Laurent Landi, in the same post that he is holding at WCC. In 2017, the Landi couple moved to the WCC together after parting ways with the World Olympic Gymnastics Academy (WOGA). So fans had been pretty much confused regarding WCC’s latest announcement. However, Cecile Landi herself doused the brewing tension. 

Through a series of posts on X, the former elite gymnast brought her side to the fore by claiming the situation was serious. Talking about the unified side, she penned down, “We are good! It was a family decision, not an easy one but one that we all agreed on and are ready to take on !” On a further note, she described the essentiality of Laurent’s remaining in WCC in the cause of their daughter. Presently, Cecile and Laurent’s daughter is in high school and it is in Texas. So, playing the parental role, Laurent Landi could not leave Texas soon. But he will join Cecile in Athens after their daughter moves to Auburn for a further degree. 

With that, Cecile Landi also narrated her further takes in the WCC. In the subsequent tweet, the former French gymnast confirmed her tenure in Texas till late summer. In this timeline, she will help Simone Biles’ training camp to find her replacement. The WCC authority has set June 1 as the final day to appoint someone to fill Cecile’s place. So, confusion was there regarding Cecile Landi’s existing tenure at WCC. 

But in the tweet, the revered mentor vowed to help her protégés in setting sail in the national and elite gymnastics up to late summer. Cecile Landi’s so far story gives such a resolute impression of her- maintaining an unbowing mentality in front of complexities. 

Cecile Landi aligns herself with the situation 

Cecile Landi penned her relationship with Laurent Landi in the face of adversity. Parting her ways with the French National Training Center Cecile moved to the USA in 2004 after breaking stereotypes around her. Later, in her endeavor in the USA, she found her perfect companion in Laurent Landi. That initiated the successful run the coach Cecile Landi still holds on. 

Initially, the couple moved to Oklahoma to kick start their coaching journey at the Bart Conner Gymnastics Academy. Soon after, they shifted to Texas to harbor the coaching role further. In this stint, both the coaching responsibilities in WOGA and WCC came in. In all these years, the couple penned a new form of all-around success living in the USA.

Now, when her WCC duty is over, Cecile Landi is eyeing a new challenge. She believes her family will support her on this voyage as well as they did in the past.
