TURKU, Finland — Day two of the Marie Lundmark Trophy, the last event of the Challenger Series, took place at the Gatorade Arena. The senior competition came down to execution margins after Saturday’s short programs left the top three separated by less than two points, while the junior event confirmed Finland’s strength with multiple teams in the top seven.

Seniors: Les Suprêmes defend a narrow short-program lead as Rockettes win the free

After leading the short program with 84.61, Team Les Suprêmes (CAN) finished second in the free skate but still captured the gold title with 238.22. Helsinki Rockettes (FIN) won the free skate and closed the gap, ending just 1.42 points behind on 236.80. Team Unique (FIN) remained third with 233.71, mirroring their short-program position.

The scores in the free skate were near at the top: the Rockettes posted 153.76 to Les Suprêmes’ 153.61. The difference was built primarily on the technical side, with the Rockettes edging the Canadians in TES (78.20 to 77.91), while Les Suprêmes were marginally higher in components (PCS 75.70 to 75.56). With no deductions for either team, the segment result underlined how small level calls and grade of execution can swing the standings when the base quality is comparable.

Senior • TOTAL #1–#3

#	Team	NOC	SP	FP	Total
1	Les Suprêmes	CAN	84.61	153.61	238.22
2	Helsinki Rockettes	FIN	83.04	153.76	236.80
3	Team Unique	FIN	82.79	150.92	233.71

That technical balance also echoes the short program story: Les Suprêmes had led Saturday on the strength of the highest technical score in the segment, while the Finnish teams stayed within striking distance through comparable technical profiles and strong presentation.

On Sunday, the Rockettes’ free-skate technical edge was enough to win the segment, but not enough to erase the short-program deficit.

The closest battle in the top six came between Nova Senior (CAN) and Marigold Ice Unity (FIN): Nova placed fifth in the free skate (142.68) and finished fifth overall (217.45), while Marigold was sixth in the free (142.33) and sixth overall (220.89) after dropping one place from their short-program ranking.
