Career

2021–22 season: International junior debut

Repond made her international and ISU Junior Grand Prix debut at the 2021 JGP Slovakia in September, coached by her older sister Jérômie. She finished eighth in both segments to place eighth overall[4] and did not receive a second assignment. She competed at three more international junior B events in the fall, taking the title at both the 2021 Trophée Métropole Nice[5] and the 2021 NRW Trophy,[6] and placing second at the 2021 Santa Claus Cup behind Nina Pinzarrone of Belgium.[7]

Repond claimed her second Swiss junior national title in late January 2022 by a 27-point margin over second-place finisher Sarina Joos, and was later assigned to the Swiss women's berth at the 2022 World Junior Championships. At Junior Worlds, held in Tallinn, Estonia in April, Repond placed eighth in the short program and seventh in the free skate to finish seventh overall.[8] She was the highest finishing European junior woman in the event.[9]
