No. 15 Georgia gymnastics is under new leadership in 2025
What was once one is now two as Georgia's former assistant coach Ryan Roberts joins ranks to co-head coach with legend Cecile Canqueteau-Landi
who she took to Paris and won four medals with
is now here in Athens leading the Bulldogs
Here's everything you need to know about Canqueteau-Landi ahead of their home opener against Boise State on Friday night
is a French gymnastics coach and former artistic gymnast
She joined the national center in Marseille at the age of 9
training at the Club Gymnastics Saint-Giniez
which has since been disbanded but was well-known in its time and where she trained her entire career
She competed in several international competitions
including the 1994 and 1995 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships in Dortmund
She was selected to compete for France in the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta but only finished eighth in the qualifying round
She retired from elite gymnastics in the late 1990s
Canqueteau-Landi coached at the French National Training Center from 2001-04 for the French National Team
before moving to Oklahoma to coach at Bart Conner Gymnastics Academy with her now-husband Laurent Landi
The pair moved to Texas to coach at the World Olympic Gymnastics Academy in 2007
where Canqueteau-Landi herself served as the personal coach to names like Alyssa Baumann
The pair became Simone Biles’ personal coaches when they joined the coaching staff at World Champions Centre
She went to Paris with Biles in summer of 2024
where Biles earned three gold medals and one silver medal to raise her total to 11
very motivational but also compassionate!" Biles wrote in an email to the Athens Banner-Herald
"She truly cares for her athletes as if they were her own children.”
Canqueteau-Landi accepted the co-head coaching position alongside two-year Georgia assistant coach Ryan Roberts following the firing of Courtney Kupets Carter in April 2024
Biles said this is Canqueteau-Landi's dream job and they actually talked about it before she'd accepted
with Biles all in on supporting her mentor
"I’m so excited to see Cecile take on this role," Biles wrote in the email
but she deserves this amazing opportunity after all the years of hard work she’s put in!"
Auburn gymnastics head coach Jeff Graba said
as he went from coaching at Midwest Gymnastics with his twin brother to Utah as an assistant coach and is now in his 14th year at the helm of the Auburn program
"You are a little bit more constrained on time
He put it this way: His brother coached Olympian Suni Lee from fourth grade to the present
and he was the one who would pay for any mistakes in technique
and they're already coming in developed with the likes of Junior Olympic or International Elite credentials and now
you have to change the rules and change the routines
"What we accent in college is different than what they accent in other programs," Graba said
Biles said Canqueteau-Landi knows it takes sacrifices and repetition to reach goals in gymnastics
and creating specific training programs catering to individual interests
they're going to compete 15 times in 13 or 14 weeks and they're in an older gymnastics body that's been through a lot
and a lot more taking what you have and trying to make it more consistent
you could spend four years developing a skill."
"I had some really good advice from my boss and a basketball coach when I left Utah
you've learned from a lot of good people around you
Now it’s time for Canqueteau-Landi and Roberts to trust their guts as they look to halt the downhill slope the program has been on
2-11 against top 25 ranked teams and 0-4 on the road

For the first time in their 122-year history, Brighton and Hove Albion are in Europe
whose side's flowing football has drawn the admiration of supporters across the globe and will now be tested in the UEFA Europa League
Roberto De Zerbi's side have been drawn into a tough group alongside European heavyweights including former European Cup winners Ajax and Olympique Marseille, as well as Greek side AEK Athens who defeated Brighton at the Amex in the opening group stage fixture
Brighton's first away trip is in France at Marseille's famous Stade Velodrome
Many Brighton fans will make the trip for the 5 October fixture
and this guide will help them to make the most out of the visit to the south of France
pubs and restaurants to visit and hotels to stay in
Tickets for the Brighton away end at the Stade Velodrome cost £26
while those with a restricted view will be £20 and wheelchair users £19
These tickets first went on sale to all Season Ticket Holders
1901 Club Members and MyAlbion+ Members who pre-registered
they went on sale to all Season Ticket Holders and 1901 Club Members who didn't pre-registered
MyAlbion+ Members who failed to pre-register could purchase from 2pm on the same day
The away tickets for Marseille will be taken off sale on Wednesday 27 September at 4pm
some Brighton fans may look to buy tickets in the home end
but any doing so should use caution and act appropriately to avoid trouble in what can be a hostile atmosphere
The Stade Velodrome is situated four kilometres away from the Old Port of Marseille
East of the stadium is the Marseille Palais des Sports
while south of the venue is the Huveaune RIver
The stadium itself is located in the neighbourhoods of Sainte-Marguerite and Saint-Giniez
getting to the stadium should be no problem
with various bus services stopping off right beside the stadium
The other option of transport to the stadium for fans is the Metro
and there are two stations (Rond-Point du Prado or Sainte Marguerite Dromel) of the Marseille Metro Line 2 that are close to the venue
Brighton fans will find themselves sitting in between the Virage Nord and the Tribune Ganay in the lower tier
Supporters looking to get to those stands will be looking to get off at the Sainte-Marguerite Dromel station
Extra trains and buses are put on the timetable on matchdays
If you are planning to fly in late on 5 October and want to travel straight from the Marseille Provence Airport to the Velodrome then the trip is thirty kilometres
there are plenty of places to grab a bite to eat before or after the match
the Pub Black Stone is one where you can enjoy a drink with your food and at a reasonable price
A restaurant named The Meltdown is also close by
while various Irish pubs are scattered across the city
with O Brady's being the closest to the stadium
If you want to enjoy yourself without the noise of other football fans
La Part des Anges is an affordable wine bar
La Caravelle looks over the Old Port and has a historic feel to it
Le Bar de la Marine is also next to the port and was a filming location for Love Actually, L’Unic is a reliable spot for a lively evening
drink and bubbling atmosphere and Dantès Skylounge Marseille will give you a wonderful view of the city
You might come across some rugby fans staying in Marseille for the 2023 Rugby World Cup
South Africa play Tonga on Sunday 1 October
While there are plenty of places to stay in Marseille
the closest hotel to the stadium is the Mercure Marseille Centre Prado Velodrome
The four-star hotel charges €146 a night
so it is more on the expensive side if the away fans wanted to treat themselves
If you are looking for a cheaper alternative but want to stay as close as possible to the stadium so you can save on travel expenses then the ibis Styles Marseille Centre Prado Castellane is the best option
Hotel Edmond Ronstand is also a cheaper option at €85 per night
As it is a very popular tourist destination
Marseille hotel prices aren't going to be much cheaper than that
The alternative is to book a nearby hostel
which would be around €20 euro a night
The Stade Velodrome was built in 1937 and is the home to Olympique Marseille
It is the largest stadium in France with a capacity of 67,394
It has hosted matches in both the 1938 and 1998 FIFA World Cups and the 1960
it is also the home to rugby club RC Toulon and has hosted matches in the 2017 Rugby World Cup and (currently) the 2023 World Cup
The record attendance for the stadium stands at 65,894
when Marseille played PSG on 23 February 2023
The first ever football match to played in the stadium was a friendly game between Marseille and Italian side
The first ever official match recorded was on 29 August 1937 when Marseille played host to Cannes in a league encounter
The Stade Velodrome got its name from its early days of being used as a cycling track
Before Marseille moved in (they played at the Stadium Huveaune in their early days)
the stadium had a cycling track going around it
has been replaced by seating as football became more popular and cycling declined as a result
The stadium has undertaken many renovations throughout the years
The 1984/85 renovation saw the running track removed
the 1998 renovation was in preparation for the World Cup that year
while the 2014 renovation helped the stadium get ready for France's European Championships in 2016
