And now to Dania Mouadin and Theo Bijot.
So impressed to see them earlier cheering on their teammates Louise and Daniel earlier in the competition.
Now it is their turn as they skate to Believer.
First things first, I'ma say all the words, it's alright.
I'm fired up and tired of the way that things have been.
The wet the sail, I'm the master of my sea.
The master of my sea.
I think we would all agree that Dania Mouadin and Theo Bijot,
if you had to put money on anybody for excelling in the sport of ice dance at Olympic level
over the next two decades when they're age eligible, I think they would be hot favorites.
They're so, so talented and so well trained.
The quality of the skating, the speed, everything.
I think they, wow.
If they're able to keep themselves healthy and keep building on their teamwork, team spirit, wow.
I think they have all the cards to play a really good game.
And they're not even tired at the end of the program.
I don't know where this program will take them, but I do know in the future,
they will travel very far in juniors and in seniors.
It's quite extraordinary when you see something so special.
The speed of these trezzles.
Quite close to each other, keeping good distance, smooth exits.
I think all the elements were on plus this time.
I don't think I saw even a blink on their skating.
Interesting to see they're both so competent.
They both bring their own energy to it.
They're both uniquely energetic.
They're matched in their style and their technique, but they bring something different.
And perhaps that's what is making us also impressed by the potential of them.
Yeah, they're quite balanced.
I cannot say that I was watching more of one of them.
I saw them together as one piece.
And that's something that in junior is really hard to get,
is to connect at such young ages.
Sometimes you don't feel like it.
You're very young.
It's trying to connect with a person and you're like, what? How?
So I think they have it.
And I wish they would be able to get it and grow on it.
Yeah, and I think they've been competing now,
despite the fact that they're just 14 and 15,
they've been competing for multiple, multiple seasons from basic novice on upwards.
And Barbara Pito has been by their side for the whole time.
Personal best was 86.86, but they have a 90.98 season best for this season.
153.19.
That'll put Tanya and Theo currently in the third place.
Three teams to come.
Will it be enough to climb onto the podium?
We'll find out.
