France's Vanessa James and Morgan Ciprès skated first in the second-to-last group. Their program was not quite perfect, but they also significantly increased its difficulty level. They had planned to land side-by-side triple toe-triple toe combinations, but she doubled the last jump. A throw quad salchow followed, and their three lifts received Level 4's. They earned 123.45 points for their free, a new personal best, and 185.55 points overall, also a personal best. The effort raised the team one spot from the short program to fourth place.
"It's getting much better," James said when she stepped off the ice. "We are the only team to have included a quad in our program here, so we're happy about that, even though I didn't trust myself enough on the second triple toe of our combination."
"We're taking risks. When we'll master them completely, they will pay off, for sure," Ciprès said.
