Bekker & Hernandez continue Grand Prix campaign at Finlandia Trophy

After a landmark senior Grand Prix debut at Skate America last week, where they finished eighth overall with a season-best Free Dance in Lake Placid, Phebe Bekker and James Hernandez will close out their Grand Prix campaign this weekend at the ISU Grand Prix Finlandia Trophy in Helsinki, Finland.

The British ice dance duo arrive in Helsinki on the back of a strong start to the Olympic season, including a silver medal at the 2025 "Cup of Nice" (Trophée Métropole Nice Côte d’Azur) and a fourth-place finish at the ISU Challenger Series Trialeti Trophy. Their performances at Skate America underlined their growing consistency at senior elite level, highlighted by a powerful Romeo and Juliet Free Dance that delivered their highest free dance score of the season so far.

Finlandia Trophy (21–22 November 2025) is the sixth and final event of the 2025–26 ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating series, meaning Bekker & Hernandez will finish the regular Grand Prix circuit with back-to-back appearances at the top level following Lake Placid.
