Yrétha Silété (born 27 August 1994 in Melun, Seine-et-Marne) is a French figure skater. She a two-time French national champion (2011, 2012).

Career

Silété began skating at age six in Dammarie-lès-Lys and has worked with coach Claude Peri-Thevenard through her entire career.[1]

In 2008, Silété won the national novice title. She skated in the junior Grand Prix series in 2009 and 2010; her best result was a 4th place finish at the 2010 JGP Courchevel. Later that season, she won the bronze medal at the 2010 NRW Trophy. Silété won the French Championships at the senior level, finishing first in the short program and fourth in the free skating.[2][3] She was 11th at the 2011 Junior Worlds.

Following the 2010-11 season, Silété decided to turn senior.[1] She began the 2011-12 season at the 2011 Nebelhorn Trophy, where she placed 11th. Her next event was the 2011 French Masters; she came in fifth in the short program but won the free skate to place third overall.[4] She competed at the 2011 Trophee Eric Bompard, where she placed 8th. Silété next competed at the French Nationals, and successfully defended her title.

Silété competed at the European Championships for the first time in her career, and aimed for a top-ten finish.[5] She achieved her goal, placing 8th in the short program and 11th in the free skating for a 9th place finish. She was chosen to represent France at the 2012 World Figure Skating Championships in Nice. At the World Championships, she placed 8th in the free program and 12th overall.[6] She was also part of the French team at the 2012 World Team Trophy.

Silété received a pair of senior Grand Prix assignments, however, in August 2012, she collided with another skater while training in Courchevel and had a bad fall, suffering a torn anterior cruciate ligament and injuring her lateral external ligament and meniscus.[6][7] She underwent surgery to repair the damage on August 27 and was expected to remain off the ice until January 2013 and miss the entire 2012–13 season.[6][7] Recovery was a slow process – in April 2013, Silété had regained only one triple jump, the toe loop.[8] Not having had the opportunity to compete with her 2012–13 season programs, she decided to keep them for 2013–14.[8]

Personal life

Silété's parents immigrated to France from Togo.[1] Her sister, Yolene, is a gymnast and her brother, Yvan, plays soccer.[1] She is studying for her Baccalauréat in June 2013.[6][8]
