Vanessa James and Morgan Cipres of France took the lead after the Pairs' Short Program at the 2019 European Figure Skating Championships on Thursday night. Russia's Evgenia Tarasova and Vladimir Morozov are in second with Italy's Nicole Della Monica and Matteo Guarise close behind.
"It's very promising going into worlds, because we lost a lot of levels," said James. "We had level threes in everything and it should be a level four. It's a season's best and we're very happy. I think it comes with experience. We are a team that's been skating for eight years now. I think with a little bit of mileage and more experience getting a few medals has helped. I think any team needs time and experience knowing how to compete. We look different. We're not the regular pair team."
