“They put the camera in front of me, in the place where I was going to skate. I thought he might hit me, I warned him not to put the camera in front of obstacles,” he reasoned, making it clear that the television camera might distract him, causing him to become angry.
The Colombian finally got a score of only 48.09 points, finishing in 22nd position, the last in the qualification test, which was eliminated. .
