At the beginning of March, PSA AL PRO TOUR will reach the final round of the tour as soon as possible, although it is a season with abundant snow.
At the end of the three races, the girls have two wins this season, Miyatake, who has already decided the tour champion without waiting for the final race, and Shitaka, who has no winning stars but always bites Miyatake on the podium.
The boys are Kawaguchi, who won the third race against Noto, who has won two consecutive victories since the opening.Kawaguchi's third victory, which is superior in terms of points, does not increase the value of the two races in Hokkaido, and the tour ranking will be a chaotic and fun final race.
At this point, Jessie J Anderson, who won the World Cup in Bansko, Bulgaria before the Pyeongchang Olympics and has won the world for more than 20 years, will participate in the race, which will be a factor that will greatly shake the whereabouts of the tour ranking. Very interesting to the viewer.
In the men's tour ranking, where there is a fierce battle for points unlike the confirmed girls, although it is calculated, if everything else ends up with no points, among the top philtrum up to Sugimoto, who is currently 7th in the ranking Up to 7 people have the potential to be tour champions.Kawaguchi 1pt, which is as close as possible to the tour champion, followed by Noto 2pt, Toda's 545.81pt, Kawashima, 534pt.As a victory point 525.28 in the final round of Value 516.63, the limit of the tour ranking champion should be around 326-850pt in total.If you finish the ranking one or two before the final race, the list will change at once.Each of us wants to move up one place and finish the season comfortably in order to gain momentum for the next term.
After the announcement of each manufacturer and new model, lively news will be added to the trends for the next fiscal year such as the introduction of new models.At the scene, each player gathered in the sacred place, Sugadaira, for the final battle with their own thoughts.GSS presents Sanada Juyushi CUP 2018 is held every year with gorgeous guests.Ahead of the first PSA ASIA CHAMPION SHIP to be held the next day, Chinese players including Rowakaiwa from China CSTSA will also enter the field in advance and work hard for training for the tournament.
Sugadaira Pine Beak Ski Area where thin clouds lightly dye the blue sky and the gentle sunlight shines down.From the start position of the champion course overlooking the ridgeline of Mt. Azumaya, the GSS representative, Mr. Matsusato's set will be delivered.The gate, which has a total length of 670m and descends on a steep slope of 26 ° immediately after the start, turns right and is guided to Dogrec.On the gentle slope in the second half, he goes under the lift line, crosses the roll of the toe side, and is led to the goal.A technical set with an altitude difference of 175m, an interval of around 24m, and 28 gates.The slopes and planes that change over and over stand in front of the players.The slope facing northeast does not seem to loosen for the time being even if it is exposed to low-sloping sunlight.Fighting in the Japanese plum east wind and leaving for inspection.
On time, first of all, # 1 Miyatake (SIG-NATURE) wearing the first yellow bib entered the course, and Miyatake is doing well with two wins this season.On a brand new clear course, he set a good time of 2 with a dignified fast run and asked for the third win. Immediately, 58.831nd place # 3 Yugami (SG) endured the difficult slope of 2 and asked for the following. # 4 Maruyama (AMICSS) broke the course that he knew in the 61.035rd run with 3 and kept a good position.
From the 4th run, # 2 Shitaka (OGASAKA) took advantage of the training that entered the field early and boldly captured the course 57.212.It surpasses Miyatake's time and has a big advantage of aiming for the winning star after a long time, and will reach the second run.In addition, while the upper ranks struggled with the hard pack and the time was sluggish, # 2 Murata immediately after the draw started with 9 and # 60.112 Koshizaka (Blackpearl) starting from the back was 17. He ran fast, slightly hesitated Maruyama, put it in a good position in 59.623rd place, and turned back.
The boys will start from # 13 Imai (F2 * VOLTAGE).I blame him straight and jump into the dog wreck as if searching for a foothold on a steep slope.Imai, who cut the finish, posted a guideline time of 54.178 and waited for the next appearance at the finish.
Thirty seconds later, # 30 Toda (SG), who started the race without waiting for Imai's goal, cut the gate in a rounded manner in contrast to Imai while holding down the board that was about to flow out.Like the girls, the walls of the still-loose champion course hide traps in an attempt to lose the grip of the board.Toda, who captured the gentle slope in the latter half of the dog wreck exactly, gave a good time of 2 and put pressure on the following high-ranking team. In the 3rd run, # 53.159 Ima (YONEX.MAC) holds down the board that is losing grip at the 3th gate and draws a tight arc on the steep slope.Even the roll just before the finish is balanced, but 4.
# 3 Noto (MOSS) from the 5th run aiming for the 11rd win was also reluctant, or hesitated to lose the grip completely at the 3rd gate, but when he restarted to regain the time, he opened the gate with a dangerous vertical line. Even so, he marked a time of 53.693, second only to Toda. From the 7th run, # 2 Kawashima (AMICSS) also stalled at the 3rd gate like Noto, and attacked the gate to recover, but the roll before the finish stalled again, losing time to 55.098 and going to a tough position. It will turn around.
Next, 8th # 1 Kawaguchi (PANDASTUDIO) exquisitely controls the grip of the board that is about to drop and loses, and connects the speed to the dogleg.When he extended the speed to the gentle slope and cut the finish, he hesitated Toda and took the leader with a lap of 52.312.Next, # 16 Goto (RABANSER) kept the position with 55.434 and # 6KIMUTOMO (F2 * ALBERTA) with 55.008.
# 11 Jessie J Anderson will start from the 5th run.The sharpness of the heel side, which is deeply folded from the inside that no one can pass through, sighs the audience watching.The edge that can be switched from sliving under intense pressure to a moment leaves only a slight snow smoke and a short snow sound, and grazes tightly at the speed of an arrow that pierces the target rock.The upper limbs, which fall smoothly on the slope without delay, make the speed even more pronounced and make the viewers lose their words.It processes the dog wreck so that it runs down and approaches everyone waiting at the finish at an astonishing speed.After absorbing the roll, he turned his head down with crawling, and when he cut the finish with his combined hands, he set a different time at 50.407 and pulled away Kawaguchi in 2nd place.The following # 7 Sawai (monster jp) hesitated Goto with 55.376, # 9 Kojima ([SN]) approached behind Toda with 54.067, and # 8 Sugimoto (SG JAPAN) approached Goto with 54.459.A fierce battle for ranking continued.
The second one. The first gate, which was placed on the right side of the course, will be rearranged on the left side. From the steep slope that is wider than the first one, the right banana that climbs against the fall line leads deeply to the shelf in front of the dog wreck.The gentle slope goes down the slope change and passes through the left banana that seems to climb again at the entrance, and the roll in front of the finish is located in front of the heel side.The temperature rises and the outside temperature looks like spring, the clouds that haze in the winding layer cover the sky widely and soften the sunlight, and the surface of the snow surface shows looseness, but the exposed groundwork remains sufficiently tight and again toward the final. Peel the fangs.
The second order for the girls was 2. Shitaka was 1.
Follow 2. Miyatake 58.831.
3. Ossaka 59.624.
4. Maruyama is 59.954 and 59 seconds, and 5. Murata behind is 60.112.
Yugami, 8th in the 3rd run in the top 6 flips, pushes the board forward and attacks the gate.If you stretch your left hand with your half body and cut the finish, the time will be shortened to 62.242.Murata continued to solidify the axis and slipped stably at 62.609, and Maruyama digged with Guffy. Maruyama shook his right hand hard on the heel side and ran down the slope to balance 62.877. Raise the pace to 60.530.In addition, Miyatake pulled up the line compactly, hung down the left and right bananas, connected the speed firmly, and waited for Shitaka who hit the second lap with a time of 59.122.Shitaka's attack, which has already run down the steep slope, is more severe than Miyatake's, dropping his body to the slope and attacking the gate at a low position, following Miyatake who came out earlier.It looks like it's slightly clogged on the shelf at the entrance to Dogrec, but Shitaka's speed at processing the second banana that appears in front of Miyatake waiting at the finish is comparable.Running hard on a gentle slope, reaching out to the left and finishing off 2. The total time exceeded 2 without running out of the first savings, and for the first time in a year, he got his first winning star of the season.

In the men's order, Jesse, who travels alone, separates 50.407 and Kawaguchi 52.312. 3. Compete with Toda's 53.159, 4. Noto 53.693, and 5. Nara 53.843 by a small margin. 6. Kojima 54.067, 7. Imai 54.178, 8. Now 54.471, 9. Sugimoto 54.459, 10. KIMUTOMO 55.008, 11. Kawashima will start from a strict position with 55.098.
The boys will attack the course that Shimizu knew by taking advantage of the ground from the 1th place in the first run and the third run.With an aggressive slide without hesitation, the gates were closed one after another, marking a good time of 14 and raising the voice of the flag. I attacked the gate and the board flowed at the 3th flag gate, but it was a dangerous run 55.754, and now I hold down the board that is about to flow on the toe side and attack tightly and raise the pace to 56.280.Imai stalled slightly and kept the position while 6.Kojima, who connects the speed with a long edging, puts the speed on the gentle slope and hesitates the present with a total time of 7 and keeps the position.In the midst of fierce competition for higher ranks, the top ranking leaders, who are also tour champions, will start.
Noto is 1 in difference from Kawaguchi in 4th and 2nd place in the first run. Goofy's Noto Toeside, who entered sweetly at the 1.379th gate, is about to lose his grip. It was revived by a mistake reminiscent of the first one, or the original slip was awakened and the switch was turned on.The heel side that instantly lifts both feet and closes the gate connects the gate straight.
Whether you know it or not, Toda enters the course without waiting for Noto's finish. The difference between Toda in 1rd place and Kawaguchi in 3nd place is 2, attacking Shinju geometry or the gate.Toda opens the heel side in slightly and catches the toe side shortly and steadily and boldly cuts down the slope.Around that time, Noto, who either reached the ears of Kawaguchi on standby or ran down with his hands together with the second banana, carefully crossed the roll with a big motion.Noto's time after finishing was 1.153, and Kojima was separated by a total time of about one and a half seconds, and the leader looked back on the course.At the same time, when Toda speeds up and disappears into Dogrec, Kawaguchi jumps out to recapture the champion.The low center of gravity, leaving behind the smoky snow droplets, certainly aims at the next gate.
Kawaguchi swells for a moment with the edge remaining on the heel side in front of the banana.Toda, who has already run through the second banana and headed for the goal with a large balance of both hands on a gentle slope, stretched his left hand hard and cut the lightning tube with his fingertips.Toda's time was 2, which was 55.084 in total and allowed Noto to go ahead.Immediately after, Kawaguchi who appeared in front of the crowd was also quick.Kawaguchi 0.092 when he gently raises his body and swings his head to the left and right to cut the finish.All that remains is super guest Jessie J Anderson, a glimpse of the world that drowns out everything and illuminates the stage.The second slip, which has an advantage of nearly 54.463 seconds even with Kawaguchi, gives a margin for one body to the left turn that is usually damaged by regular, and Guffy's godly heel side strongly hits the root of the short pole. Penetrate sharply.The mysteriously little snow smoke is infinitely small, left behind Jesse's past, and quietly flutters over time.The crowd who fascinates without words disappears into Dogrec, leaving a breeze on the side.After all, the champion who appeared in front of Kawaguchi and others who sprinted more than anyone else applied a pre-ololly to process the roll as if remembering SX, turned his face down and cut the finish line so that he could confirm it firmly with both hands combined in front of the brain. .. 1.It took about two and a half seconds to Kawaguchi in total time.Jesse's discretion must have been a wonderful run for all players to create dreams and enjoy the potential of snowboarding.
After the tournament, everyone was fascinated by the smiles of the superstars who snuggled up to the amateur players in the photo session, such as the presenters of the awards ceremony as well as the slip.
