TOKYO REGIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP
The attention of the experts were mainly aimed at Wakaba Higuchi (175.62), engaged in the junior competition. The defending league title, despite winning easily, has partially confirmed the difficulties & agrave; emerged in the stage of the Junior Grand Prix held in Linz in mid & agrave; September. In both segments of the race, & egrave; came the usual call wire suspicion on the triple flip and l & rsquo; execution of the elements of spinning you & egrave; revealed by the first class. In the free program, it has, however, completed two double axel and six triple jumps with a lot of combination triple lutz / triple toe loop placed in the second half & agrave ;. Not & egrave ;, however, unsuccessful attempts to combination triple lutz / triple Rittberger as & egrave; able to attack in the triple lutz only a single Rittberger. In the short program, flip aside, c & rsquo; & egrave; was a half slip on the combination triple lutz / triple toe loop as the second jump & egrave; It was judged under-rotated by a technical panel.
At the time, Higuchi has little hope of qualifying for the final of the Junior Grand Prix, but not & egrave; esclsuo that winning the & rsquo; final stage of Zagreb can go to occupy the seventh position in the standings thus becoming the first reserve for the final. At that point, the fact that the Japanese federation can withdraw one of compatriots regularly qualified to leave space would not sound so & Igrave; strange, given that bisogner & agrave; see how many Japanese will be able to secure their ticket to Barcelona.
In second place, it & egrave; Akari placed Matsubara (138,98), which preceded Harua Bamba (134,31).
There have been surprises in the senior competition, won by & rsquo; elegant ventiduenne Yuki Nishino (158.41), which outperformed in both programs to match the sixteen year old Yuka Nagai (146.96), great favorite of the eve. Nishino, despite the atavistic problems on rotation jumps, & egrave; He managed to obtain a technical score higher than that of the direct opponent, arguing in particular the quality & agrave; elements of spinning top. Nagai, forced to raise the white flag also on each item of the components of the program, has paid the price because of two days totally negative on the triple lutz, regular strength and in fact never completed (single lutz in both segments of the race and fall jump under rotated in the second attempt made in free).
Third place went & egrave; placed Nana Matsushima (137.26), vincitirice last Tokyo Regional and on this occasion only athlete in the race to complete a combination with two triple jumps. On the sidelines, it should be noted the disappointing tenth the nineteen Risa Shoji (112.51), noble fallen in the past able to reach the final of the Junior Grand Prix on two occasions.
In the men, victory at the senior level for Kosuke Nozoe (166,37), only to have performed the triple axel, which preceded measurement Eiki Hattori (164.50), who won the free program. On the podium Kento Kajita (156.69). The junior race, characterized by the participation of only five athletes, & egrave; It has been, easily won by nineteen Daichi Miyata (159.37) before Reo Ishizuka (127.96) and Shingo Nishiyama (126.47).
CHUBU REGIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP
Even in Nagakute not have been surprises. The twenty Miyabi Oba (148.19), the undisputed favorite of the senior women's competition, & egrave; He was forced to raise the white flag in the face of surprising Mina Taniguchi (156.22), able to complete two double axel and six triple jumps in the segment pi & ugrave; long race. Oba, in the lead after the short program, characterized by a good performance of the combination triple salchow / triple toe loop, but also by a Rittberger landed with step-out, & nbsp; & Egrave; then sank the free, suffering from a bad day on Rittberger, too many jumps under rotated and by a fall after the combination is double axel / triple toe loop. Third place went & egrave; attested Chinatsu Mori (146.49), skilled in & rsquo; perform two tests without taking account only of egregious smudges triple toe loop, triple salchow and double axel. Not & egrave ;, however, went beyond the seventh Miu Sato (121.26), nineteen year grew at the court of Machiko Yamada, but, in fact, out of the loop counts after surprising fifth place finish just fifteen years in the National senior December 2011.
In junior competition, dish of & rsquo; event, the & rsquo; waiting game between the eternal rivals Yuhana Yukoi and Emiri Niigata olds originating in Aichi prefecture, is & egrave; turned into a three-way fight for street from & rsquo; insertion or almost as & eacute; Unknown Nana Araki, progressed exponentially in the past. Victory & egrave; went to Yuhoi (159.55), winner of the short program and capable of performing well in the free program two double axel and five triple jumps, including two combinations double axel / triple toe loop. & nbsp; Araki (156.12), fourth after the short, during which has a well-executed combination triple toe loop / triple toe loop, & egrave; It was the best of the lot in the free program. Specifically, the & rsquo; yet another product of the prefecture of Aichi, in addition to tops of high quality & agrave ;, & egrave; He was able to run two double axel and six triple jumps, including a great lutz combination and a double axel / triple toe loop. The only problems, involved in both segments of the race the triple flip, in a case under rotated and nell & rsquo; another case completed, but with an input of an external wire does not. Niigata (153.30) has presented programs in absolute pi & ugrave; not skimping ambitious attempts combinations from & rsquo; & agrave high coefficient of difficulty; (Triple lutz / triple toe loop in the short and triple flip / triple toe loop / double toe loop in the free), but has paid the price due to too many jumps under rotated and a single flip at the end of the segment pi & ugrave; long race. After that, you are placed Rino Kasasake (152.07), flawless short program opened by a combination triple toe loop / triple toe loop, and Saya Suzuki (148.92), able to rotate, despite a fall at the end of the double axel combination / triple toe loop, two double axel and seven triple jumps in the free program, including two lutz and two Rittberger.
In the men, the & rsquo; senior event with only four athletes at the start & egrave; It was won by the student quoted Hiroshi Nakaguko Riuju Hino (175.11) in the past three-time finalist of Junior Grand Prix. The twenty year stationed in Nagoya & egrave; status for & ograve; author of two performance undertone. In both segments of the race & egrave; fell at the end of attempts to quadruple toe loop missing from the rotation and in the short program opened in flight l & rsquo; axel completing somehow only two rotations. In the free, & egrave; s & Igrave; managed to complete two triple axels, but botched a triple salchow, it would have been four times. & nbsp; After that, they are placed Ryuta Katada (150.94) and Kota Tadano (126.83).
In junior category is & egrave; Kotaro imposed Takeuchi (163.54), ahead of Takayuki Yamamoto (120.28) and Kaishi Yoshida (83,00), only other participants. & Nbsp; Takeuchi, still without the triple axel, has revealed a remarkable mastery of triple flip and triple Rittberger allowing himself the luxury of complete combination in the short program a triple Rittberger / triple Rittberger. It remains, however, to review the lutz.
