Mitsumata Ups'n'Downs Opening Kagura Cross Challenge, commonly known as Daizo CUP

Daizo Fukushima, a legend in the SX world, hosted the event as a sponsor and as a slope builder.

The weather is fine and the temperature is high for this time of year.

I have a feeling that various ups and downs are likely to occur in the first SX match in the blessed weather of the tournament.

The course created by Mr. Daizo Fukushima in the lack of snow is from the start section of the large U tank to the banked slalom section, the roll section with a wide range of slow and fast, and the slalom section in front of the goal that is set tightly to hurt the players. A long technical course that makes good use of the terrain and does not remind you of lack of snow

The overseas expedition team gathered and the top players were almost all in line, and the big event that happened before the semi-final was the first heat of the men's quarter final, and in this heat, the two Motoki brothers who ranked 2th last year and Fumi Hosaka of the overseas expedition group. The final-like combination of Kado and Shinya Momono, who have continued to win consecutive domestic tournaments, will be realized. Yuki Motoki and Kohei Motoki, who won this heat, proceeded to the final and won their first victory. Inoue Takahiro and rookie Yoshiki Takahara will be added to the final

In the men's final, while the sun was hiding and chilling, Kohei Motoki was the first to react to the start call, but Yoshiki Takahara, the rookie, came out in front of the small roll after the U tank. Yoshiki Takahara won the first victory with the goal as it was, and Kohei Motoki who continued to attack without giving up boarded in front of the goal.

In the women's final, Maria Tomita, Tomoko Kamada, Hiromi Konno, and Tomoko Kamata, who took second place in the series champion Maria Tomita of last season, jumped out of the start when amateur asbestos hope players faced each other. Although it was pulled out from the got line different from that of the other player, only two people contacted and Hiromi Konno recovered, but asbestos hope player went up to XNUMXrd place in the gap, and in the end Maria Tomita won the championship without drawing others. The result was that.

It is thanks to Fukushima Daizo, ski resorts, and school officials that we were able to hold the event as planned early this season due to the lack of snow nationwide.

We would like to thank all the players from the bottom of our hearts.

And please support us while expecting an interesting race in which you will not know who will win this tournament, where young talented people are conspicuous in the cross party.

The next snowboard cross will be Kinseiryuho TAKAHIRO Memorial CUP in Kurumayama.
