Mitsumata Ups'n'Downs Opening Kagura Cross Challenge Commonly known as Daizo CUP Day 2.
The morning weather was sunny and cloudy, with occasional strong winds and flickering snow, making it a cold day.
The snow quality is tighter than the first round of the previous day and the speed is a little faster.
As with the previous day, the course made good use of the banked slalom section that made good use of the terrain from the quick U tank, the roll section on the gentle slope, the slalom section that swings from side to side while there are ups and downs using the terrain, and the terrain. A long technical course.
There were many races from the start section to the first bank, probably because I got used to the course because it was two consecutive races today, or because of the tiredness of the top players.
Under such circumstances, the men's finals were Yuki Motoki, who won the professional match the day before, Shinya Momono, who was 3rd in the professional match the day before, Kohei Motoki, who was 4th in the professional match the day before, and Daiki Nakagawa, a young freestyler.
Everyone started all at once at the start call of the men's final.Shinya Momono leads one step from the start section to the first bank.Next, Yuki Motoki, Daiki Nakagawa, and Kohei Motoki are chasing after.It seemed that Shinya Momono would run away as it was, but he lost his balance on the way and slowed down.Yuki Motoki, who was behind me, pulls out of the inn.However, he managed to regain his position and suppressed Yuki Motoki, and Shinya Momono scored at the top.

Then girls.
As a big event until the final, Masami Higashida, who was 3rd in the professional match the day before, lost his balance in the first round and slowed down significantly, then fell due to contact with the following players and was defeated.
In the midst of such turmoil, Kanae Maeda, who won the professional match the day before, hoped for asbestos in 3rd place in this tournament last year, and Rina Tanaka, an amateur, confronts Kaori Terayama, a regular in the finals.Kanae Maeda took the lead from the U tank to the first bank after the start, followed by Kaori Terayama, Rina Tanaka, an amateur, and Asbestos Hope.
In the banked slalom section, Kaori Terayama was slowing down due to a mistake in taking the line, but Rina Tanaka overtook and moved up to 2nd place, chasing Kanae Maeda.However, Kanae Maeda scored a goal with a stable slide and scored two consecutive victories following the previous day.
The result was amateur Rina Tanaka in 2nd place, Kaori Terayama in 3rd place, and asbestos hope in 4th place.
Win Kanae Maeda
XNUMXnd place Runa Tanaka (amateur)
XNUMXrd place Kaori Terayama
Today, probably because it is a series of battles on the same course, the number of players who match the start section has increased, the first bank has a melee battle, there are many contact scenes involving top players, and there are many scenes of falls, and people watching the game are also excited. Was showing.
The course itself didn't feel difficult, but it was difficult to pull out, and the banked slalom section divided the victory and defeat from the start section.
From the start section, it was important to take the line according to the situation, and I think it was a fun race for both the players and the spectators ???
Under such circumstances, it was two days in which the strength of Kanae Maeda, who won two consecutive Pro Tour wins, was conspicuous.
Thank you very much to Mr. Daizo Fukushima, ski resorts, and everyone involved in the school for two days.
