Economides began learning to skate in 2004.[1] In 2012, he began commuting from Rouen to Cergy-Pontoise in order to be coached by Bernard Glesser.[2]

In 2013, he competed internationally in the advanced novice ranks. His junior international debut came in November 2014. In January 2015, he placed 8th at the European Youth Olympic Winter Festival in Dornbirn, Austria.[3]

After placing 5th, competing in the senior ranks at the French Championships, he won bronze at the French Junior Championships. In March, he competed at the 2017 World Junior Championships in Taipei but was eliminated after placing 30th in the short program.[6]

Economides trained under Glesser at the start of the season. Competing in the 2017 JGP series, he won silver in early September in Salzburg, Austria, and placed 4th in October in Gdańsk, Poland.[6]

2023–2024 season

[edit | edit source]

Opening the season at the 2023 CS Budapest Trophy, Economides was seventh.[6] Appearing on the Grand Prix for the second consecutive season at the Grand Prix de France, Economides placed sixth overall. He expressed satisfaction with his performance, as well as at having fulfilled his ambition of getting a second Grand Prix, the 2023 NHK Trophy.[8] He went on to finish tenth in Japan.[9]

After winning the silver medal at the French Championships, Economides received his first ISU championship assignments, placing fifteenth at the 2024 European Championships and twenty-first at the 2024 World Championships.[6]
