James fell on the throw Triple flip while he doubled the toeloop, the pair would finish 7th with 68.67 points.
“I don’t know what happened - I didn’t see Matteo, Matteo didn’t see me so we crashed and I fell. It took me off a little and I was not very comfortable after. I felt a little dizzy, so I tried to stay focused. It was a bad skate for us today, and with the fall it was very tiring after. It happened, it was a mistake and it affected the program as well as our concentration,” James said.
James concluded, “I have no physical injury following the collision but a big psychological shock.”
