In 2017, the French pairs figure skaters performed a Fifty Shades of Grey-inspired program at the ISU European Figure Skating Championships in Ostrava, Czech Republic.

James and Cipres put their game faces on and shook off the nerves after the hosts noted that the routine before was difficult to follow up. But they show the masses precisely what they were made of.

The duo skated to The Weeknd's Earned It - Fifty Shades Of Grey soundtrack. They wowed on the ice, performing lifts, throws and other moves.

They included a bit of sultry spice to their style instead of sticking with the old tricks and moves.

They also added in a touch of love and attraction in addition to the tricky skating moves. A perfect way to get the viewers' attention and the judges' admiration.
