The Four Continents Figure Skating Championships is an annual figure skating competition. The 2007 championships took place at the World Arena in Colorado Springs, USA from February 7 to 10, 2007.

Pairs

Jessica Dubé / Bryce Davison did not complete their free skating and so automatically withdrew. During a side-by-side camel spin, the two drifted too close to each other, and Davison's blade hit Dubé in the face. She was immediately taken to the hospital and underwent surgery to repair the damage. Dubé later made a complete recovery and the two were able to compete at the 2007 World Figure Skating Championships.^[1][2]
