GSS presents Sanada Juyushi CUP 2017
Sugadaira Pine Beak was a perfect day for the tournament, unlike the heavy snowfall the day before.
The course specs are the champion course total length XNUMXm, maximum slope XNUMX °, average slope XNUMX °, and the famous hard pack hides the shadow due to the influence of fresh snow.
The set drawn by GSS representative Akira Matsusato, who knows all about Sugadaira's slopes, has a shelf in front of the dock wreck, a gentle slope entrance after dropping, and a pair of left and right bananas.Although it is a technical burn, the XNUMX gates with a straight layout that is conscious of the burn maintenance of the soft pack, the interval over XNUMX m further increases the degree of freedom of the line, and the difference in each player's strategy can be seen. There will be.
How important is to capture the midfield including bananas before and after the dog wreck so that you can speed up the gentle slope in the latter half of the course.Careful inspection is carried out while predicting how rough the course will be during the start time of the race.
AL first match, "GSS presents Sanada juyushi CUP 2017"
GS First start
1st girl
Starting from Yoshii (GSS-BP) who drew the first grid in the draw the day before, it was a garden that was accustomed to just training based on the site, or 57.390, which was a guideline time and waited for the following, but started immediately afterwards. Miki (Tugezer Alive) has renewed his lap to 52, fascinating his growth in the overseas expedition just before the season.
57th, Shiiba was 880, slightly short of Yoshii.
From 6th place, # 53 OGASAKA glared at 370 with a time to restrain Miki. 7th place, Maruyama (AMICSS-Kisui) could not recover the mistake in the first half immediately after the start and dropped out of the battle for the top with an unwilling time.
Yugami was behind Shiiba in the 58 seconds range from the late starter, and Miyatake, who returned to Japan from the last start, participated for the first time in two years, and was in 2rd place with a good time of 53.
1st boy
At the beginning of the start, OGASAKA, who had good luck with the lottery, recorded a 53-second flat in the 1rd run, which is one guideline.From the starting position, we cannot hear the change in the course situation.Immediately after, Sawai (F2 / Monst), who started in 51th place, updated the time to 150 at a stretch, and immediately after that, Wakabayashi (OGASAKA), Sugimoto (SG Snowboa) and Goto (VOLKL) were in the 52 seconds range. KIMUTOMO (F2 * Alberta) is 51 and Narita (AMICSS) is 600.
A player who made a mistake in the strategy before and after the dogleg, which is a difficult point in the middle of the course, becomes a prey to the trap and loses time.
In the latter half of the draw, Kawashima (UP-Z), who got the first yellow bib from 50th place, fascinated the top ranking slip and danced to the leader with 750, and the crowd was excited.
Following Miyao (OGASAKA) also puts pressure on the nostalgic Kawashima who engages with 50 and trains together.
Tsuruoka (Tsuruoka Racing), who waits near the end of the pro, is attracting attention for the first time in eight years, while the low-ranking races are repeated.
When I got to the start, I ran down the slope with a masterpiece that did not make me feel blank at all, and when I reached the goal, the electric bulletin board was repainted and I marked a lap of 50 and jumped to the leader.
After confirming the burn situation at the end of the first run, the super final after the second run will be held.
The second course set runs side by side on the left side of the first run, and the swing width becomes a little tight. It became a strategy point that influences the development of the game.
The upper ranks, who also serve as a preview of the 3nd + Super Final (XNUMXrd), start a careful inspection over their thoughts.
The second high-ranking order is
woman
5. Shiiba 4. Yoshii 3. Miyatake 2. Shitaka 1. Miki

The second final, the ranking will be confirmed, and the right to participate in 8 boys and XNUMX girls in the super final will be required.
I want to raise the ranking of each position, such as winning, podium, winning, and participating in science fiction.
XNUMXnd final start
XNUMXnd girl
Flip start from 8th place. As with the first run, Shiiba in 5th position squeezes in the 1 seconds range and solidifies his feet.Yoshii continued, but he couldn't put it together well and gave up the ranking to Sanji Shiiba in the 57 seconds range.Miyatake of the top group set the time exactly 58, and as soon as the remaining two people were able to do it, they hoped to win the championship and waited for the rest.Immediately after Shitaka, it is difficult to see from the goal, but he bravely entered the dogleg, or he lost control and did not pass through the gate immediately after the depression and disappeared from the competition for the championship without scoring a goal.
Miyatake, who confirmed Shitaka's departure in the finish area and confirmed the second place or higher, and leader Miki, who started without knowing Shitaka's departure, aggressively attacked without loosening his hands and processed the dogleg tightly and dropped into a high position. Take a dogleg early and head for the goal.When the finish was finished, it was 2, and both of them lapped and won a complete victory.
Winner Tsubaki Miki (Together Alive)
XNUMXnd place Shoko Miyatake
XNUMXrd place Naomi Shiiba

2st boy
Flip start from 16th place. Goto and Wakabayashi set the time from the offense and defense with 53 seconds to the first half of 52 seconds, and Sugimoto defended the Super Final seat at 51.
Shirakawa also aimed for a high jump up to 51, Narita and KIMUTOMO kept their positions, and Sawai, who was in 310th place, was disappointed or the time did not improve and he dropped 4 positions and missed the prize.Miyao steadily dances to the leader at 3, waiting for the remaining two runs.
Kawashima wants his first professional victory, and if he doesn't need anything other than the victory, he goes into the course and boldly attacks the gate to recover his specialty and head for the goal.The slip of Kawashima's whole body, which stretched his right hand far forward and cut the finish, was 50, which was far behind Miyao.
The destination of Kawashima's waiting is Tsuruoka, who also wants to celebrate after a long time, and Tsuruoka, who knows Katsu well, should not be able to easily hand over the sake cup.Tsuruoka who handles the gate smartly with a dynamic slide, surely speeds up and cuts the finish while lying down the neck.
There is no electric sign as if it froze for a moment, probably because of my mind.Tsuruoka's total time, which was even displayed next time, was 101, which was displayed under Kawashima's immovable time with a difference of only 08 seconds, and he was delighted with the birth of a new champion.
Winner Kosuke Kawashima (UP-Z)
XNUMXnd place Kentaro Tsuruoka (Tsuruoka Racing)
XNUMXrd place Kazunori Miyao (OGASAKA)
XNUMXth place Takanori Shirakawa
2th place KIMUTOMO (FXNUMX * Alberta)
