Nabais was born on 25 May 2000 in Vitry-sur-Seine, France, a suburb of Paris. [1]

Career

Early years

Nabais began learning to skate in 2008. [1] Skating with Marie Dupayage, he made his junior international debut in November 2016 at the Tallinn Trophy. Dupayage/Nabais placed 14th at their first ISU Junior Grand Prix (JGP) event, JGP Austria, in late August 2017. Their best JGP results were seventh in Latvia and Italy in September and October 2019, respectively. [2]

2021–22 season

Dupayage/Nabais' senior international debut came in October 2021; they placed fifth at the Trophée Métropole Nice Côte d'Azur and had the same result at the 2021 CS Denis Ten Memorial Challenge. In December, they finished fourth at the French Championships. In January 2022, they won silver at the Bavarian Open in Oberstdorf, Germany. [2]

2022–23 season

Dupayage/Nabais began their season by winning bronze at the 2022 CS Nepela Memorial and then silver at the Trophée Métropole Nice Côte d'Azur in October. In November, they placed ninth at the 2022 Grand Prix de France, their first Grand Prix appearance, and then took bronze at the 2022 CS Warsaw Cup. [2]

After coming fifth at the French Championships, Dupayage/Nabais were assigned to compete at the 2023 Winter World University Games. They won the gold medal, in an upset victory over the favoured American team McNamara/Spiridonov. [3] [4] Both said it was a result to "savour." [5]

2023–24 season

Domestically, Dupayage/Nabais began the season with a silver medal at the Master's de Patinage competition. [6] They then placed fifth at the 2023 CS Finlandia Trophy. [2] Again given one Grand Prix assignment, Dupayage/Nabais were seventh at the 2023 Grand Prix de France. [7]
