`` GSS presents Sanada Juyushi CUP 2019
Duel Slalom ”
Nagano Prefecture "Sugadaira Pine Beak Ski Area"
Due to the warm winter, players will gather for Sugadaira one week after the canceled AL first match.The snow clouds that continued to fall until Thursday passed to the east, and the conditions were set, and preparations were steadily made for the long-awaited first match.
Azumaya, who is bathed in the dawn from his right hand, dyes vividly and quietly waits for the gun.
Sugadaira Grand Prix course.The total length is 350m, the maximum slope is 26 °, the 23 gates, and the black and orange flags shine.The gate, which was swung at an interval of 14m immediately after the start, adjusted the amplitude from the middle of the slope and was sucked into the banana hanging to the right and connected to the gentle slope in front of the goal.Last year's champion, the men lacking Kawaguchi, Toda is red, Kawashima is green, Kojima is wearing blue bibs, and Noto, the local entry, starts from near the end.Following Miyatake, where the yellow bib is dazzling, Red Shitaka, Green Yujo, and Ossaka wear the blue bib.Each player carefully checks the course to the familiar course that gave birth to many famous scenes.
The first girl, Miyatake and Shitaka, who jump out to the course, run down the course side by side.Synchronized edges catch the gate as if they were paired.The rugged red course slightly misses the timing and takes time.The red course Miyatake (SIG-NATURE) 1 and the blue course Shitaka (OGASAKA) 36.11 will drop the fire lid.
The second group, Yujo (SG) 2, Ossaka (Smile Sports Academy) 37.72. The third group, Mitsuka (AMICSS) 35.42, Yoshii (BLACK PEARL) 3, and the difference between the left and right sides of the course affects the time.
Toda (UPZ) of the first group of men's blue course single run is 1, Kawashima (AMICSS) of the second group of red course is also 1, Kojima ([SN]) 32.89 who bites Kawashima and ticks the standard time. Immediately after Imai (VOLTAGE) from the 2rd group updated the lap with a fast run of 32.89, Sawai (KESSLER) 33.46 and Narita (AMICSS) 3.While the upper ranks of the Red Course collapsed, Kuroki (MOSS FLUX) from the 32.38th group ran fast at 33.35, and Shimizu ran fast from the 33.92th group Blue Course, approaching Kawashima with 6. The 34.68th group, OGA SAKAALC, struggled with 8 and each player on the red course. From the back of the 33.17th group, Shirakawa (YONEX) of the blue course took a good position with 12.Noto, who started from the end, updated the lap easily and set a time of 35.11, which overwhelmed the others, and headed for the second run.
The pain of the red course has already been severe and the deep hole becomes a land mine and the player is trapped.The blue course, which is not so painful yet, the difference between the left and right makes the qualifying chaotic and divides the light and dark into the survival to KO.
In the second qualifying session, the girls started switching courses in the same order, with Shitaka 2 and Blue Miyatake 37.50, who successfully captured the red course.Then Ossaka hesitated Miyatake at 37.75 and emerged in 38.36nd place, with Yujo 2.When Mitsuka made a gap of 39.60, Ueno, Honda (MOSS) and Kanazawa put out the 41.80-second range and filled the gap in the grid.
Moving to the boys, Noto and Kawashima started in the first group, and both of them flew smoothly, but Red Noto was caught on the course.Noto 1 was behind the fast-running Kawashima 33.01.Kawashima 34.95, Noto 65.90 in total time.
Imai was also caught by the course and behind Noto at 35.58, Shimizu 33.04 and Noto hesitated and attached behind Kawashima.Following Toda, he captured the red course, followed Hirabayashi running side by side with 32.96 and two, and hesitated Kawashima and jumped to the top.Hirabayashi also hesitates Imai with a good time of 2.In the red course, he secured the grid while suffering with Sawai 34.22 and Shirakawa 35.39, and from the blue course he named himself as Kuroki 34.96, Aoyama, 35.81, Tomita (OGASAKA) 35.63, Nagatomo 35.54 (AMICS Ssmow) and KO.
It seems that the roughening of the red course has been somewhat resolved by the course maintenance before KO, but is it only a matter of time before the once damaged course collapses? In the first round of KO, the high-ranking team steadily defeated the lower opponents in the qualifying and decided the victory with a calm slip.

Shitaka, Yugami, and Miyatake pull away from each other and win.Ossaka, who was second in qualifying, self-destructed and sent Kanazawa to the next stage.
Half of the boys have already been dropped to the sieve and it has become an elite match. Sawai, who drives the first red, bites by a small margin, but Toda's slip, which captured the red, surpasses and wins properly.Noto, who is caught again by Red, is exposed to dust after Hirabayashi, but he calms down the blue course and regains his chance. KO, Imai, who is a good match for digging, climbs up and takes two pieces surely to advance the piece.Kawashima also pulled Shirakawa away from the first red course and won the semi-final without danger.
Semi Fainal.In addition to the gouged red course and bananas, the digging on the front and rear heel sides has increased in depth to 2 steps and 3 steps, and the blue course is also prominently rough.The sun also tilts and the shadows stain from the middle of the blue course to the left, changing the expression every moment.
Semifinal Shitaka vs Yujo.Red Shitaka started to pull away immediately after the start, but stalled due to poisonous fangs on the heel side in front of the banana.Yugami defeated Shitaka without catching up.Miyatake and Kanazawa, who are slippery after qualifying, will be left behind to reach the final as planned.
Sift twice and thin the four elites.In addition to the ability of the players, what are the factors due to the difference between the left and right courses?If you compete in red first, the chances of winning are huge.
Noto vs Toda, Noto who drives Red first, corrects the mistakes so far, changes the trajectory and goes down the slope along with Toda.Noto won by suppressing Toda who boldly attacked Red by turning back at 0.25 without giving up both.
Imai vs Kawashima, Goofy's Imai chased the back of Kawashima with a spray on the heel side of the blue course and ate 0.28, but Kawashima rejected Imai's pursuit and headed for the final.
In the 3rd place deciding match, Shitaka held down Kanazawa. Toda, who pushed out Imai who competed for the first run in the second run, mourned.
final.Miyatake's stable slip does not move to his opponent.The form without showing a gap surely catches the gate on the snow surface. The water was steadily opened every turn and the courageous follow-up was not allowed, and the solid board handling throughout the day was to accumulate DU consecutive wins from the Noboribetsu tournament last year.
Women Result
Win Sachiko Miyatake (SIG-NATURE)
2nd place Hanako Yugami (SG)
XNUMXrd place Akari Shitaka (OGASAKA)
Kawashima who drives Red first, Noto who lends his chest is wary of Kawashima over his shoulder.Both regular and goofy turn their backs and jump out to the course at the same time.The final reminiscent of last year's Noboribetsu tournament.Immediately after the start, Noto engages with Kawashima, who increases the number of revolutions and attacks shortly, as if to set the timing to set up a wide line.Kawashima, which is connected vertically, has already appeared in front of the body at about 2 gates and erodes Noto's field of vision.Kawashima's board screams in front of Noto, who calmly carries things.Although it is clogged on the heel side and it is about to lose its flow, it immediately recovers and returns to the front.Kawashima who endures and runs without disappearing from Noto's field of vision.Seta, Noto lined up on Kawashima to calmly rebuild the toeside that is about to flow out with minimal turbulence.Once again, Kawashima's heel side, which collapses unbearably, disappears without regaining speed.
The 1.89 second behind is great.The second pursuit from the back did not reach in vain, and Noto, who did not collapse, left Kawashima with his savings and won a splendid third victory.
Men Result
Winner Yuki Nofuji
2nd place Kosuke Kawashima (AMICCS)
