Winter Olympics, finishing ninth at the event in
Albertville, France. In the 1993–94 season, Moniotte/Lavanchy stood atop the podium at the
1993 Skate America and
1993 Skate Canada International. They placed fifth at the
1994 European Championships in

1994 NHK Trophy and their third consecutive national title. The duo then won silver at the
1995 European Championships in

1995 Skate America and
1995 Nations Cup. They withdrew due to injury. On 19 October 1995, Moniotte fractured the lateral
malleolus of her left ankle while training at the Colombes rink. Although she resumed training in January 1996, she had not recovered and the duo ultimately decided to withdraw from the
1996 World Championships. Moniotte/Lavanchy returned to competition in the 1996–97 season. In October 1996, they finished second to
Marina Anissina /
Gwendal Peizerat at the French Championships, having placed first in the compulsory and original dances and second in the free dance. Despite the loss of their national title, they edged out Anissina/Peizerat for the bronze medal at the
1997 European Championships in
Paris, France. Moniotte/Lavanchy then placed fourth at the
1997 World Championships in
Lausanne, Switzerland, again finishing as the top French team. In the 1997–98 season, Moniotte/Lavanchy once again lost to Anissina/Peizerat at the French Championships and then slipped behind internationally, placing seventh at the
1998 European Championships in
Milan, Italy. Moniotte/Lavanchy became three-time Olympians at the
1998 Winter Olympics in
Nagano, Japan. They placed 11th and then retired from competition. In 1999, Moniotte published a memoir of her life as a skater. == Later life ==
