Figure Skating ISU Grand Prix 2025 - 2026

[clemsonbeav 679]

Based on the results today from Finland, we have the Grand Prix Finals for Pairs set:

Miura Riku & Kihara Ryuichi 

Deanna Stellato-Dudek & Maxime Deschamps 

Anastasiia Metelkina & Luka Berulava 

Sara Contii & Nicolo Macii 

Minerva Fabienne Hase & Nikita Volodin 

Maria Pavlova & Alexei Sviatchenko 

 

No American duo unfortunately, despite earning 3 medals in Pairs (including Silver and Bronze today)...just the math didn't work in our favor, and Kam & O'Shea had too many errors in their free skate today.

Malinin  opted for the 4-Axel in his Short Program, but faltered, landing him in 3rd thus far (and only 0.05 away from 4th!).  Surely he has the tools to rise back up in the Free Program.  (Also, perhaps this will serve to show him that he is in fact beatable.)

And Malinin bounced back.  He earned a WR 238.24 in the FP...and of note that in this Grand Prix Finals event, the 6th place competitor earned 242.19 combined (not even 4 points higher).

 

Dang.

And the Americans take 3 gold medals in the GP Finals, with Japan taking the fourth.  The Japanese ladies just took a couple of stumbles, allowing Alysa Liu to snag gold for the ladies.  Japan ends up on top for the season overall.
