PSA ASIA Pro Tour Round 13
Looking back on the final round, the girls had a one-on-one fight between Miki (Together Alive), who won the second straight victory from the opening round, and Shitaka (OGASAKA), who won the third round.For the boys, Kawaguchi (UP-Z), who won the first race, Kawaguchi (Panda Studio) in the second race, and Tsuruoka (Tsuruoka Racing) in the third race, but Kawaguchi and Tsuruoka, who have no points due to missed points, How far will Kawaguchi, Miyao (OGASAKA) and others bite into Kawashima, where the series champion has been decided if it is not so much?It will be an important match while keeping in mind the whereabouts of the series ranking.
Tsuruoka, who won the previous race, is in charge of the set that colors the course that is blessed with the weather and receives the spring sunshine.At the bottom of the downhill course, the race barn across the slope with a maximum slope of 26 ° has a total length of 400 m.From the start gate near 1200m above sea level, set the initial speed on a slight gentle slope, and immediately after that, go down about 100m above sea level and connect to the gentle slope in front of the goal.Tsuruoka, who returned to active duty and gave a winning star after a long time, will hit the set after repeated scrutiny as if to measure the skills of the players. The 26 gates, a slightly open set of 14.5m, the exquisite swing width with an eye on the snow quality and KO, and the icy puck hidden under the snow surface bother the players.When you run down a slope with a maximum slope of 26 °, the course turns slightly to the left, and a nasty toeside awaits you to prevent acceleration.If you enter the gentle slope toward the finish, the interval will be 14m and you will not be able to clear it comfortably until the end.The blue course that descends quickly as if going around, the red course that accelerates by descending from just before the finish line as if climbing slightly, and how to use the courses with different left and right for bargaining, each of the first qualifying I'm worried about the player's time.A hard pack whose surface has been scraped off during inspection awaits the players.
First qualifying
女子は互い譲れないに＃1志鷹と＃2三木の1組目からのスタート、確実にゲートを処理する志鷹を横目に早くもギアを上げる三木が37.83で先にフィニッシュを切ると後を追う様に志鷹が39.12と時計を刻む。2組目、＃3丸山(AMICSS-キスイ)と＃4勇上が綺麗に並んで其々、40.02、40.29 とセカンドグループの基準値となるタイムを計上し様子をみると、3組目から＃6吉井(GSS-BP)が40.24と勇上を僅かに躱し、すぐ後ろから＃7松沢(BC STREAM）も40.32と40秒の攻防が続く。更に後ろの6組目よりレッドコース三塚(AMICSS)
However, with a good time of 39.98, he slightly hesitated Maruyama and approached Shitaka.
The boys started from # 1 Kawashima and # 2 Miyao, who are doing well this season.Red Kawashima gradually left Miyao to finish first, and Blue Miyao was slightly behind 35.34 Kawashima, but still waited for the follow-up with a dignified slip of 36.42. # 2 Kawaguchi, who disappeared in the second group, the previous race, and the qualifying, is about to pull away from # 3 KIMUTOMO (F4 * Alberta).With a spectacular slip that made me feel sad, I greatly exceeded Kawashima's time to 2, and I was ready for a solid position from the first qualifying run. From the 34.25rd group, # 1 Sugimoto (SG Snowboa) and # 3 Sawai (F5 / Monst), who know all about Dyna, keep their positions with Sugimoto 6 and Sawai 2. The 36.93th group, # 36.94 Goto (VOLKL), started with # 4 Shirakawa (YONEX UPZ), who has the possibility of being the only series champion, and Shirakawa, who is a little behind Goto's smooth slide, finishes first. Goto, who cut it, hesitated Sugimoto with 7 and was 8rd, while Shirakawa was 36.41, which also kept 3rd.After this, while the red 38.42 seconds and the blue, which is a little hard to get the time, are competing for the 3th chair of each course in a slightly stalemate, the wounds in the previous race are not healed from the 38th group # 39 Narita (AMICSS) Hesitated Shirakawa at 4 and emerged in 7rd place in Blue.There was no change in the rankings again, and while each of them started running, Toda hesitated Narita with a good time of 14 from behind and took the 38.28rd place on the blue course to ask the top team.
The second run, the start with the course replaced.The temperature rises due to the sunlight, and the exposed course begins to loosen a little.Is it easier to chew and attack than the first wait-and-see?
The girls also start from Shitaka and Miki. Not the first one, Shitaka runs side by side without letting Miki go first, and a fierce grid battle begins to develop toward KO.Shitaka and Miki, who chased after Miki who calmly captured the game, held 1 and Shitaka 38.49. In the first 39.09 seconds, the 1nd group of mixed lines, Mitsuka who couldn't stand the line and left the front, Yoshii sideways at 40 and Maruyama immediately after cutting the finish 40.47, Yugami 39.68 and hesitated Yoshii 40.11, 41 Put it in the count.Following Matsuzawa and Aya Koshisaka did not reach Yoshii in the 6 seconds range, and immediately after that, her younger sister, Haruka Koshisaka, hesitated her sister and emerged in XNUMXth place to face KO.
The first boy is 34.25, and he starts from Kawaguchi, who knows the unknown world, and Miyao, who is the fastest on the blue course.Kawaguchi's speed did not change, and Miyao, who was chasing after him, set a good time of 36.70, which was the same as the first run, and Kawaguchi also set a good time toward 1, KO, which was the same as the first run.The following Kawashima also secured the second grid at 1, although it did not reach Kawaguchi.Sawai couldn't extend the time a little and opened a gap.Following Miyao with Goto 34.56 and Toda 35.37, he was in 2th and 37.31th place, and Fujimoto 36.85, Narita 38.94 and Sawai were in the 37.80th, 38.33th and 1th place.Immediately after, Sugimoto moved up to 6th place using the first savings while 37.91.Immediately after Shirakawa 10 and Narita, he was in 6th place, and in the battle for commas, he was in a melee after XNUMXth place.

After the end of the second run, clouds began to appear and the weather began to collapse as expected. Before the KO final starts, the sun is blocked and the body of the athlete waiting at the start is frozen before the race.The calm appearance of the morning turned around and the men's 2st Round began while the snow danced. 1 Kawaguchi, 0.29 Kawashima, 2 Miyao, and 1 Toda won well, and 2.00 Goto was caught by the second blue course, which was close to 2 Kojima by 1.15, and Kojima played Gekokujo. 2 Sugimoto allowed 2 Imai to be behind 2.00 in the first run, and Imai won without being able to catch up with the second run. XNUMX Shirakawa defeated XNUMX Fujimoto, the second run with XNUMX on his back, to advance to the second round. When XNUMX Sawai chased after XNUMX, XNUMX Narita couldn't stand it and self-destructed, and Sawai who escaped won in a come-from-behind victory.
By the time we enter the women's 1st Round, the snowfall will be stronger and the crosswinds that occasionally blow will make it look like a snowstorm.The visibility was so bad that I couldn't see the goal line from outside the finish area.Other than the players who got off to a start, the battles that will take place on the course cannot be seen.
According to the speed of qualifying, 1 Miki should have started first with a difference of 1.43 seconds in the first run, but stalled here, and 0.58 Matsuzawa won the finish with a come-from-behind victory.Then, 2 Yujo led by a close margin of 1.46, and XNUMX Yoshii overturned in the second run to win a close battle. XNUMX Maruyama shuts out XNUMX Ossaka (Haruka), XNUMX Shitaka firmly kills XNUMX Ossaka (Aya) who bites at XNUMX and wins.
Men's 1/4 Final 1 Toda and 0.02 Kojima started almost at the same time with a close margin of 2 in the first run, and Kojima was killed in the second run, and Toda won. The first mistake was 1 Miyao, who chased 2.00, but he couldn't catch up with XNUMX Imai, who was in good shape, and was eliminated here, and Imai gained momentum. XNUMX Kawaguchi shuts out XNUMX Sawai and XNUMX Kawashima shuts out XNUMX Shirakawa, firmly establishing a foothold.
Semi Final Women, 1 Matsuzawa, 2.00 behind in the first run, chasing after 1 Yoshii and winning a come-from-behind victory. 0.52 Shitaka, who came out earlier from the close battle of the first XNUMX, suppressed the follow-up of XNUMX Maruyama, and Shitaka finished first.
The speed of boys and 1 Kawaguchi is strong. 0.25 Toda's momentum is not enough to advance the pieces to the final. The first run, 2 Imai's momentum forced him to XNUMX, but the second run was to take down Imai and challenge the decisive battle.
In the 3rd place playoff that was held earlier, Maruyama won with a 1 difference in the first run and Yoshii in the second run.The boys, the first run, and Toda did not yield to each other with a difference of 1.74, and Toda, who had surplus momentum in the second run, self-destructed, and Imai was given a boost.
Final
Matsuzawa, who has been developing a reversal drama for the first girl, approaches Shitaka.During this time, the momentum of snow and wind is calmer than before, and although there is snowfall, the visibility is clear and the condition of the snow surface can be grasped.Ice is exposed on the course where the surface has been shaved, and a large amount of fresh snow that has been swung out at once after the qualifying is waiting to swallow the players on the outside of the course.It seemed that Matsuzawa, who was slightly behind, approached Shitaka with a goal in the offensive and defensive battle, which was taken by each other on the harder course.Two people who cut the finish almost at the same time, Shitaka was in front of the electric sign with a slight difference of 1.The second run that returned to the beginning looks the same as the first run from the start.However, the end was unfortunate, Matsuzawa lost control in the middle of the course and left the front, and Shitaka who pulled away greatly kept his hand and defended his slip and approached the finish.When I noticed that there was no sign, I looked back at the red course side for a moment and confirmed that there was no opponent, and pushed up both hands and scored a goal.
It was a happy winning star because I was disappointed in the first half of this season's second win.
Winner Akari Shitaka (OGASAKA)
2nd place Mitsuru Matsuzawa (BC STREAM)
3rd place Miki Maruyama (AMICSS-Kisui)
For Kawashima, who has decided to be the series champion for the first men's race, I would like to conclude with a victory in the season that is not ashamed of the champion's name.Kawaguchi also wants to win by demonstrating a slip on the way home from the expedition in order to dispel the previous qualifying defeat.The start of the final that cannot be surrendered to each other.At the same time, the two people jumped out to the course, and on the gentle slope immediately after that, they started to equalize.The slope goes down and Kawaguchi takes the lead slightly.Kawashima, who is slightly behind, seems to be waiting for a trick, passing through the gate at almost the same timing and aiming for the finish.Kawashima moved before going down the slope.If you take the timing quickly for a moment and push your body down, the speed will increase as if you raised the gear.Suru Suru and the board stretched out to match the gentle slope in front of the finish, and when it came out in front of Kawaguchi, another half of the body and Kawashima came out in front of the goal. 1 It is almost nonexistent, but it folds back by a small margin.Kawaguchi wants to take advantage of the momentum, and Kawaguchi quietly calms down and looks at the goal. The second signal rings.Kawashima, who has a good reputation for the start, was impatient for victory or missed the start slightly and the difference time was reset.Kawaguchi, who defends his line firmly and attacks as in the battle so far, is rather late, Kawashima attacks tighter than usual.At the next moment when he approached the middle of the course and seemed to be in a dangerous attack, Kawaguchi, who was ruthlessly losing control and his body was flying in the air, was left behind without looking back.Kawaguchi, who saw a sign over his back, clenched his fist, cut the finish, and grabbed joy.
This season, he shared the winning stars in the three-way battle, but it ended with Kawaguchi's second victory, and it was a happy victory to relieve the worries of the previous race.
Winner Kohei Kawaguchi (Panda Studio)
2nd place Kosuke Kawashima (UP-Z)
3rd place Ryo Imai
4th place Daiya Toda
5th place Kazunori Miyao (OGASAKA)
6th place Kyosuke Sawai (F2 / Monster)
