“It is with regret that we announce that Adam Siao Him Fa suffered an ankle injury during the Chinese Grand Prix. Following a thorough medical assessment, doctors recommended a three-week break to allow full recovery,” the French Ice Sports Federation wrote on its social networks.
The Frenchman, double reigning European champion, qualified for the end-of-year competition thanks to his victory at the French Grand Prix at the beginning of November and his third place during the Cup of China last weekend . The final of the ISU Grand Prix, which brings together the six best skaters of the season in each category (men, women, couples and ice dancing) is held this year in Grenoble from December 5 to 8.
Aymoz will be there
“Adam and his team are obviously disappointed with this situation, but the health and well-being of our athlete remains our top priority,” added the body. “This break is essential for Adam to be able to return to full fitness, with the main objective being ready for the European Championships which will be held at the end of January in Tallinn, Estonia.” Siao Him Fa had already suffered an ankle injury in the spring, which delayed his return to competition.
If the double European champion will be absent in Grenoble, his counterpart Kevin Aymoz will be there to try to shine at home!
