"I think I'll be improving a lot more, he said. I think I can take away a lot from this competition. It was such fun and I'm really looking forward to the future season."
"It's really heartwarming to be at home with this amazing crowd and this amazing partner, Cizeron said. We were really looking forward to doing our debut here and it couldn't have gone better. There's always apprehension, of course, he added. But I think that with experience and each other's energy, we manage to let go and get into our characters"
Ilia Malinin opened the Olympic season by winning the Grand Prix de France with a commanding 321.00 total, finishing 40 points clear of Adam Siao Him Fa. The 20-year-old landed five quadruple jumps in his free skate, with only a slight under-rotation on one quad, and extended an unbeaten run approaching two years since his last defeat at the same event in 2023. Malinin did not attempt his trademark quadruple axel. Adam Siao Him Fa placed second on 280.95 and Nika Egadze third on 259.41. Olympic ice dance champion Guillaume Cizeron and new partner Laurence Fournier Beaudry won their international debut with a 133.02 free dance and 211.02 total, edging Lilah Fear and Lewis Gibson by 0.8 points despite an earlier fall.
