Oxana Vouillamoz was born on 24 April 2004 in Sion, Switzerland,[1] to Doris and Stéphane Vouillamoz.[2] She studied at Collège des Creusets in Sion.[2]
As a child, Vouillamoz trained in Martigny. After the 2015–16 season, she became a member of CP Sion.[3] In April 2018, she began training in Champéry, coached by Stéphane Lambiel, Robert Dierking, and Anna Dierking.[2][4]
In late 2019, Bruno Massot suggested that she take up pair skating with France's Flavien Giniaux; she agreed and joined Massot's group at the Tissot Arena in Bienne in August 2020.[5] Vouillamoz/Giniaux trained but did not compete in their first season together.
By the 2021–22 season, Vouillamoz/Giniaux had relocated with Massot to Caen and had decided to skate for France.[6] The two made their competitive debut in early September, placing tenth at the 2021–22 ISU Junior Grand Prix event in Košice, Slovakia. After winning medals at a few minor international junior events, they won the French junior national title.[7]
In April, Vouillamoz/Giniaux finished tenth at the 2022 World Junior Championships in Tallinn, Estonia.[7]
Beginning their season on the 2022–23 ISU Junior Grand Prix circuit, Vouillamoz/Giniaux placed fifth in the Czech Republic and fourth in Poland. They made their senior international debut in October, winning bronze at the Trophée Métropole Nice Côte d'Azur. They then made their Challenger series debut, finishing eighth at the 2022 CS Warsaw Cup. Vouillamoz/Giniaux won a second consecutive French junior national title, and then took the silver medal at the senior national championships.[7]
At their final junior event, the 2023 World Junior Championships in Calgary, Vouillamoz/Giniaux finished second in the short program, setting a new personal best and winning a silver small medal. Giniaux called the result "amazing. We've worked hard. We have a great team at Caen, with our coach, Oxana, our staff we worked together, and we enjoy every day even if it was hard sometimes."[8] They struggled in the free skate, sixth in that segment and dropping to fifth overall, finishing 5.80 points behind bronze medalists Sierova/Khobta of Ukraine.[9]
Vouillamoz/Giniaux made their senior World Championship debut at the 2023 edition in Saitama. They qualified to the free skate and placed fifteenth overall.[7]
Vouillamoz/Giniaux won gold at the Trophée Métropole Nice, before being invited to make their Grand Prix debut at the 2023 Grand Prix de France. They came seventh.[7]
On December 5, Giniaux announced that Vouillamoz had ended their partnership.[10]
On April 18, Swiss Ice Skating posted a list of their Senior international team for the upcoming season, listing Vouillamoz with a new partner, Tom Bouvart, indicating both switching from France to Switzerland.[11] It was subsequently announced that they would train in Paris under coaches Claude Péri and Lola Esbrat.[12]
The pair debuted in late November at the 2024 NRW Trophy, where they won the gold medal. At the event, they earned the required minimum technical scores to compete at the World Championships.[13][14]
