Personal life

Siao Him Fa was born on 31 January 2001 in Bordeaux, France.[2] He is the youngest of four children.[3] His parents, Daniel, a doctor, and Patricia, are originally from Mauritius and moved to France in the early 1980s.[3] He formerly attended Collège Hubertine Auclert in Toulouse.[4]

Career

Early career

Siao Him Fa began learning to skate in 2005 or 2006 in Bordeaux.[2][4] As a child, he trained under Valerie Sou, Cornelia Paquier, Nathalie Depouilly, and Laurent Depouilly.[5] He started training in Toulouse in 2011[4] because Bordeaux's ice rink was not operational.[3] He debuted on the advanced novice level in March 2013 and won the French novice men's title in March 2014.[3][6]

Coached by Rodolphe Maréchal and Baptiste Porquet in Toulouse,[5] Siao Him Fa began appearing on the junior international level in October 2015.[6] In February, he competed at the 2016 Winter Youth Olympics, placing tenth in Hamar, Norway.[7] His ISU Junior Grand Prix (JGP) debut came in August 2016. He finished out of the top ten at both of his JGP assignments that season.

2017–2018 season

In September 2017, Siao Him Fa began training under Brian Joubert at the 2007 World champion's skating club in Poitiers, France.[8][9][10] He finished ninth at both of his JGP assignments. After placing fourth on the senior level at the French Championships in December 2017, he took silver at the junior event in February 2018. In March, he qualified to the final segment at the 2018 World Junior Championships; he ranked sixteenth in the short program, nineteenth in the free skate, and seventeenth overall at the event in Sofia, Bulgaria.

2018–2019 season

Competing in the 2018 JGP series, Siao Him Fa took bronze in Richmond, British Columbia, Canada, and then gold in Yerevan, Armenia.[11] Due to his results, he qualified to the JGP Final in Vancouver, Canada.[12] He placed fourth at the Final, setting new personal bests in the free skate and total score.[13] He won the silver medal at the 2019 French Figure Skating Championships.

Competing at his first European Championships, Siao Him Fa finished in twelfth place, setting three new personal bests in the process. At the 2019 World Junior Championships, he placed eighth in the short program with a clean skate, and another new personal best.[14]

2019–2020 season

Dogged by injury in the fall, Siao Him Fa did not repeat his earlier success on the Junior Grand Prix, finishing off the podium at both of his events. In October, he stood on his first ISU Challenger Series podium, taking bronze at the 2019 CS Ice Star. He repeated as French national silver medalist and national junior champion.

In January, Siao Him Fa competed at the 2020 European Championships in Graz, Austria. He was on the verge of not qualifying to the free skate after a poor performance in the short program, but unexpectedly made it in as the twenty-fourth and last to qualify after fellow Frenchman Kevin Aymoz failed to qualify despite previously being considered a favourite for the European men's title.[15] He performed much better in the free skate, landing three quadruple jumps to place sixth in the segment and rising to eleventh place overall.[16] He concluded his season with a seventh-place result at the 2020 World Junior Championships in Tallinn, Estonia.[17]

Siao Him Fa announced a coaching change on 28 May 2020, deciding to join Laurent Depouilly in Courbevoie.[18]

2020–2021 season

With the COVID-19 pandemic affecting international travel, the ISU opted to assign the Grand Prix based largely on geographic location. Siao Him Fa was scheduled to make his Grand Prix debut at the 2020 Internationaux de France, but the event was cancelled.[19] In February, Siao Him Fa won his third straight National silver medal.[20]

Siao Him Fa finished the season as part of Team France at the 2021 World Team Trophy. He placed eighth in the short program and ninth in the free skate, while the French team finished in fifth place overall.[21][22][23]

2021–2022 season

Siao Him Fa began the Olympic season competing at the 2021 CS Lombardia Trophy, where he won the silver medal and set three new personal bests.[24] He was then assigned to the 2021 CS Nebelhorn Trophy, winning the silver medal and qualifying a second berth for French men at the 2022 Winter Olympics.[25] He went on to make his Grand Prix debut at the 2021 Skate America, where he placed ninth.[26] He was eighth at the 2021 Internationaux de France, setting a new personal best in the free skate.[27]

After winning the silver medal at the French championships, Siao Him Fa was named to the French Olympic team.[28] He placed fourteenth in the short program of the Olympic men's event.[29] He was thirteenth in the free skate, but remained in fourteenth overall.[30]

Siao Him Fa concluded his season at the 2022 World Championships, held on home soil in Montpellier with a men's field considerably more open than usual due to the absences of Nathan Chen and Yuzuru Hanyu and the International Skating Union banning all Russian athletes due to their country's invasion of Ukraine.[31] He finished tenth in the short program with a new personal best, and rose to eighth overall with a sixth-place free skate, both scores also new personal bests.[32][33]
