Lara Naki Gutmann claims third place at Grand Prix de France

Italian figure skater Lara Naki Gutmann secured third place at the Grand Prix de France in Angers, marking the second podium of her Grand Prix career. Despite a fall during the short program that left her in fifth place, Gutmann delivered a career-best free skate performance.

Scoring 137.01 points in the free program, Gutmann achieved a total score of 202.37. She finished just 0.45 points behind runner-up Anastasiia Gubanova of Georgia, who maintained her position due to a lead established during the short program. The event was won by Japan's Ami Nakai.

Other Italian participants included Sarina Joos, who finished eighth after a strong performance, and Nikolaj Memola, who placed tenth in the short program following his return to competition.
