Career
Fradji began skating in 2010 at the age of four, inspired by her older sister. She began training in ice dance at 7½, but continued to compete as a single skater up to the advanced novice level through the 2018–19 season. She first met her current skating partner, Jean-Hans Fourneaux, when she was 11 years old, and the team began competing together internationally in 2017.[1]
Fradji and Fourneaux made their debut on the Junior Grand Prix circuit in August as one of the host picks at the 2019 JGP France, where they finished tenth overall. While they did not receive a second JGP assignment, Fradji and Fourneaux placed fourth in the junior dance category at the Master's de Patinage, and sixth and seventh respectively at their two autumn assignments: the 2019 Mezzaluna Cup and the 2019 Pavel Roman Memorial.
In January 2020, Fradji and Fourneaux competed at the 2020 Winter Youth Olympics in Lausanne, Switzerland. They finished tenth overall in the individual event. In the mixed team event, Fradji and Fourneaux were named to Team Discovery alongside Italian men's skater Nikolaj Memola, Canadian women's skater Catherine Carle, and Russian pair team Apollinariia Panfilova and Dmitry Rylov. Team Discovery finished in sixth place overall.
Fradji and Fourneaux concluded their season at the 2020 French Junior Championships, where they finished in third place.
