Kévin Aymoz

Kévin Aymoz (; born 1 August 1997) is a French figure skater. He is the 2019–20 Grand Prix Final bronze medalist, an eight-time ISU Grand Prix medalist, and a six-time ISU Challenger Series medalist. Domestically, he is a seven-time French national champion (2017, 2019–2022, 2025–26).

Aymoz represented France at the 2022 and 2026 Winter Olympics, where he finished twelfth and eleventh respectively. He has placed as high as fourth at the World Championships (2023), and twice finished fourth at the European Championships (2019, 2023).

Personal life Aymoz was born on 1 August 1997 in Échirolles, in France.

Aymoz received two Grand Prix assignments, the 2018 Skate Canada International and 2018 Internationaux de France. He placed seventh and fifth, respectively. At the year's close, Aymoz won his second French national title.

At the 2019 European Championships, Aymoz placed fourth in both the short program and free skate, finishing fourth overall, and only 0.74 points behind bronze medalist Matteo Rizzo of Italy. Aymoz performed poorly in the free skate, falling four times and finishing in seventh place. He later said, "I knew I could manage the short program, but you can't fake it in a free skate. You're either ready, or you're not. Sometimes, the magic of sport and adrenaline help, but I wasn't ready."

At the Grand Prix Final, he placed sixth after having two falls in his short program and several errors on his jumps in his free skate, though he received good grades of execution on his spins and step sequences. Aymoz said that he felt "really lucky" to compete in the Final in his home rink and that he was happy despite his placement.

Aymoz competed in the 2025 European Championships, held in Tallinn beginning in late January. He placed twenty-second after problems in both programs and apologized for not being able to perform better for the audience. After the European Championships, he changed his short program to the one he had used in the previous season, saying that his newer short program no longer felt appropriate after the crash Flight 5342; he dedicated it both to the victims of the crash as well as to transgender people, saying the "original story" of the program was about them and that "I want to use my voice and tell this story in the United States, where it matters a lot right now."

In February, Aymoz won the Road to 26 Trophy, a test event for the 2026 Winter Olympics. In late March, he competed at the 2025 World Championships, held in Boston. He finished fourth in the short program. In the free skate, he had several errors in his jumps but received the third-highest component scores of that competition segment, and he finished in fifth place just behind compatriot Adam Siao Him Fa. He expressed joy about the supportive crowd and his improved mental health: "I remember last year, at the World Championships, I wasn't there. I was alone in the dark, crying. But now, I'm here." Siao Him Fa and Aymoz's placements earned France three bearths for French men's singles skating at the 2026 Winter Olympics.

Aymoz closed the season by competing for Team France at the 2025 World Team Trophy, placing seventh in the individual event with Team France finishing fourth overall. The following month, he took gold at 2025 CS Nepela Memorial, for a total of five Challenger Series medals to date.

In October, Aymoz competed at 2025 Skate Canada International. He placed fifth in the short program, eleventh in the free skate, and tenth overall.

The following month, he competed at the 2026 European Championships, finishing twenty-seventh in the short program. As a result, he did not qualify for the free skate. He said of his performance, "I'm very disappointed with my skate. Of course, I will try to regroup myself and will focus on the positive, and there were positives today. Even if it didn't look like that."

On February 7, Aymoz placed fourth in the short program in the 2026 Winter Olympics Figure Skating Team Event. "It was a challenge today because my last competition was the European Championships, and it was a disaster," he said. "So, it was difficult to come here to the Olympics and do something good."

In March, Aymoz placed seventh at the 2026 World Figure Skating Championships. He had a dismal 11th-place short program, but he rebounded in the free skate, where he placed fifth with a new season's best score. "I was really happy after finishing my performance; it was really, really nice," he said after the free skate. "I woke up this morning feeling relieved to be on the last day and to watch everyone else. It felt a little like the last day of school when you're really young—a day where you just play with friends. Today, I went out to play on the ice, and it was really nice."
