Gwendal Peizerat (born April 21 1972 in Bron, France) is a French figure skater and 2002 Olympic champion in ice dancing.

Peizerat started skating at age four when he and his sister, then six, followed their parents to the skating club at the rink. He was introduced into ice dancing straight away, coached by Murielle Boucher-Zazoui, who to this day, remains his coach.

His first partner was the French figure skater Marina Morel. Together they finished 3rd at the 1990 World Junior Championships. At the 1991 World Junior Championships Morel and Peizerat claimed the silver medal.

Morel and Peizerat later split up and, in 1993, Peizerat teamed up with Russian figure skater Marina Anissina, whom he had competed against at previous championships.

The association of the two different cultures with different styles of skating was positive. The pair placed 3rd at 1998 Olympic Games and, in 2000, they won gold medals at the European and World Championships.

In 2002, Marina Anissina and Gwendal Peizerat became the first French Olympic Champions in ice dancing. They also won the gold medal at the European Championships that year.

After winning the Olympic gold medal they finished their amateur skating career, turned pro and appear in shows now.

Their signature move is a "reverse lift," in which she lifts him.
