Beginnings (1990s)
Born inCompetitions (2002–2010)
Seyrès took part in her first competition one year later, for the 2002 National Championships held in Bordeaux. She won the co-ed Junior category in Classic Freestyle, which opened the door to her first sponsorship and a ticket to the French Team. In 2004, after a year that saw her first international podium (third at Lausanne's co-ed international contest, 2003) and a first wave of Team France demos in France and close Europe, she stopped sports due to health problems and passes the French instructor certification level 1. Seyrès was back on skates three weeks before the 2004 World Championships of Amsterdam, where she won the World Title in Classic for the first time, a feat she repeated in 2006 in Barcelona after an intensive training with partner Igor Cheremetieff. Thanks to her good results, Seyrès joined the Seba Team, moved to Paris and traveled to the competitions, particularly in Europe, Asia and Eastern Europe, as well as the United States. She added other international titles to her list, including: World Champion in Speed slalom and Battle Freestyle at the 2008 Worlds in Singapore, European Battle Champion in 2009 and 2010 and Classic Champion in 2010, and she recorded 46 months of No.1 at the freestyle world ranking created in 2007, being the most decorated slalomer of her time. Seyrès is specialized in freestyle slalom (battle and classic) but has shown her worth in speed slalom too, especially in remaining world No.1 for 3 years and 10 months uninterrupted.Judging and reporting (2008–present)
Seyrès is still active in the world of freestyle as a judge and as a reporter. She validated the battle judging part of the World Slalom Skaters Association (WSSA) program in 2008 in Singapore, and the whole exam in 2011 in Moscow. She is part of the judging team on international competitions including the World Championships (2011, 2012, 2013). She is also a trainer and examiner for the WSSA international judge trainings in Europe, as well as a member of the WSSA rules technical committee. Since 2008, after completing five years of study in English linguistics research, her official competition write-ups of the World Slalom Series and freestyler interviews were published online at Rollerenligne.com and Worldslalomseries.comRoller derby (2010–present)

Freestyle videos
SeyrSeyrèss is the rollerskate girl in a 2004 viral YouTube video entitled ''Just a Girl'', shot in Bordeaux at the occasion of the second freeskate video contest of RollerFR. Induced to participate in order to add a feminine touch to the contest, she ended up first in the votes. In the summer of 2006 two videos were issued: the first was ''The Clopinettes' Gang'' with Clochette shot in Montpellier and to the sound of Seyres's electro-rock band Akouphën telling the fairytale of the two protagonists. The second one is SeyrSeyrèss's biggest hit video with Igor Cheremetieff ''Catch Me if You Can'' shot in Besançon, a revolution with a scenario and the highest European technical level of the time. Seyrès and Cheremetieff did a second official video together in 2008 (issued in 2009), entitled ''Around the 20'' where the pair picked 20 appropriate spots for the 20 districts of Paris, with 20 different soundtracks. It is an atmosphere video rather than a technical video and it was proposed, shot and edited by Kalou. Seyrès also appeared in a profile video for the promotion of SebaSkates, shot on the docks of Paris. Entitled ''2010 Winter Profile'', it was a very short video with slow motion parts to the sound of the instrumental version of "Falling Up" featured on Akouphën's album ''ELEVEN''.Derby videos
