Vanessa James and Eric Radford launched their new partnership for Canada with a Silver Medal in pairs at the Autumn Classic International figure skating competition.
Riku Miura and Ryuichi Kihara of Japan finished in first place with 131.74 points, James and Radford follow with 115.72 points, and Deanna Stellato-Dudek and Maxime Deschamps from Canada finished third with 112.08 points.
Skating to Harry Styles, James and Radford opened with a solid triple twist and executed a clean throw triple Salchow later on. But they were shaky on their side-by-side jumps with James falling once and stepping out of another.
‘’For me it’s a learning lesson on how to control my stress,’’ said James. ‘’I’m taking this as a step in our career.’’
