Early years Lopareva began learning how to skate as a four-year-old in 2004. They followed this up by finishing fourth at the
2025 CS Nepela Memorial. They were subsequently named to the
2026 Winter Olympic team. The following month, Lopareva and Brissaud competed at the
2026 European Champions in
Sheffield, England, United Kingdom, where they finished in fourth place overall. In February, Lopareva and Brissaud competed at the
2026 Winter Olympics placing eighth in their debut at this event. The team said they were looking forward to competing for another four years. “We want to be stronger, better,” said Brissaud. “We just want to continue pushing our originality and our skills for the next Olympics. We’ve been fighting hard for medals and for what we want.” The following month, Lopareva and Brissaud placed sixth at the
2026 World Figure Skating Championships. It was their highest placement in their fifth appearance at this event. “After the Olympics, for sure we were a little bit tired, but we didn’t stop,” said Brissaud after the Rhythm Dance. “We came through practice, and we really liked taking part in Art on Ice. We were just like, ‘Go, go, go,’ continue doing practice. There was no time for post-Olympic depression. We just went right away to the next process.” == Programs ==
