Their first international medal, gold, came at the International Cup of Nice in October. In November, they were awarded bronze medals at the 2015 CS Tallinn Trophy and 2015 CS Warsaw Cup. The following month, Törn/Partanen became the Finnish national champions, ahead of Karmi/Lindholm, and went on to qualify for the final segment at both of their ISU Championship assignments.
