Ayumu Hirano scored 2 points and Taku Hiraoka scored 93.5 points in the HP final held from 92.25:XNUMX this morning Japan time, winning silver and bronze medals, respectively.
Ayumu Hirano has been riding stably since qualifying, and in the final, he made XNUMX points in both runs.
The run that won the silver medal was also excellent in height and skill, but it was slightly below the 94.75 points of Iouri PODLADTCHIKOV.However, the significance of winning a medal for the first time in a snowboarding competition is very significant.
Taku Hiraoka advanced directly to the final in 2nd place after Shaun White in qualifying heat XNUMX where powerful players gathered.
In the final, he failed the first run and showed a wonderful riding in a run where the failure of the last one was unacceptable.However, Iouri PODLADTCHIKOV also did not reach 1 points, and was a bronze medal with 94.75 points.
Two riders have achieved the long-awaited medal acquisition of Japanese snowboarders with wonderful riding this time.Also, I think it is very big that he defeated Shaun White, the gold medal of the past two tournaments.
I hope that the younger generation of Japanese snowboarders will continue to play an active role in the future.
