By succeeding in Angers three weeks ago in a comeback for which he seems to have the secret, Adam Siao Him Fa perhaps did the hardest part. Winner in Angers despite an eighth place in the short program, the double French European champion approaches the Cup of China (short program Friday, free program Saturday) in a very favorable position to qualify for the Grand Prix final, which will be held in Grenoble from December 5 to 8.
The Chongqing stage being the last of the six stages of the Grand Prix circuit, the calculations are relatively simple: a place in the top 4 of the event will guarantee Siao Him Fa to appear in the top 6 of the circuit invited to Grenoble. Among those who have already competed in their two Grand Prix, three are already assured of being “finalists”: world champion Ilia Malinin, Olympic vice-champion Yuma Kagiyama and Frenchman Kevin Aymoz. This weekend, Adam Siao Him Fa’s main competitor will be the Japanese Shun Sato, silver medalist of Skate Canada. Beyond victory, the main thing for the 2024 world bronze medalist will be to show newfound consistency.
