A historic double! Adam Siao Him Fa won the European Figure Skating Championship for the second year in a row on Friday evening. In Kaunas in Lithuania, the 22-year-old Frenchman delivered a free program bordering on perfection to crush the competition. Already leader at the end of the short program, the Bordeaux native achieved a total of 276.17. In the ranking, he is ahead of Estonian Aleksandr Selevko (256.99) and Italian Matteo Rizzo (250.87), second last year. Winner in Espoo in 2023, Adam Siao Him Fa is crowned European champion for the second consecutive year. A first for a French skater since Alain Calmat in the 1960s.
