Adam Siao Him Fa on a mission to revolutionize male figure skating, as highlighted in content featuring worldwide Olympic and Paralympic partners.
Adam Siao Him Fa was born on January 31, 2001, in Bordeaux, France, the youngest of four children. His parents, originally from Mauritius, moved to France in the early 1980s. He began figure skating in 2005 or 2006 in Bordeaux, training under various coaches in his early years before moving to Toulouse in 2011. His junior international debut came in October 2015, and he competed at the 2016 Winter Youth Olympics, placing tenth. In 2017, he began training with Brian Joubert, a former World champion. His junior career included a bronze medal at the 2018 JGP Canada and a gold medal at the 2018 JGP Armenia, leading to a fourth-place finish at the JGP Final in Vancouver.
Siao Him Fa transitioned to the senior level, making his European Championships debut in 2019, where he finished twelfth. He earned his first ISU Challenger Series medal, a bronze, at the 2019 CS Ice Star. His career progression saw him represent France at the 2022 Winter Olympics, finishing fourteenth overall. In the 2022-2023 season, he achieved his first Challenger gold medal at the 2022 CS Lombardia Trophy and a Grand Prix gold medal at the 2022 Grand Prix de France. He went on to win his first French national title in 2023 and became the European champion that same year, the first Frenchman to do so in twelve years. He successfully defended his European title in 2024 and secured a bronze medal at the 2024 World Championships, marking the first World medal for a Frenchman since 2010. He received the ISU Skating Award 2024 for “Most Entertaining Program” for his 2023/24 Free Skating program. These achievements cemented his position among the top male figure skaters internationally.
In the 2024-2025 season, Siao Him Fa continued to compete at a high level. Despite an ankle injury that led him to postpone his season debut, he won the 2024 CS Trophée Métropole Nice Côte d’Azur and secured his third consecutive Grand Prix de France title. He earned a bronze medal at the 2024 Cup of China, but a re-injury to his ankle led to his withdrawal from the Grand Prix Final. He still managed to win a bronze medal at the 2025 European Championships and placed fourth at the 2025 World Championships, helping France secure three berths for the 2026 Winter Olympics. During the World Championships, he competed with a hip injury and a bone bruise, demonstrating his dedication to the sport.
