About the program

Adam Siao Him Fa won Grand Prix de France on home ice with this free skate, scoring 181.78. Benoit Richaud built it on Patrick Watson's "Here Comes the River".

The choreo sequence had already turned heads at Nepela Memorial in September, where every judge gave it +5. The moment people clip is a long lean-back knee slide. In France his only real blemish was a touchdown on the quad toe.

On Reddit, plenty of fans named it their favorite program of the season. Some said the step sequence made them cry, and a few grumbled that work this good is landing in a year with no Olympics.
