As of 'habit, to access all''atto Championship final Japanese junior and senior, will & agrave; You must face the second round of qualifying, called "Sectional".
It & egrave; competed at the "Shiba Prefectural Ice Arena" Otsu, home of Kimki Regional Championship, and at the '' "Aqua Rink" Chiba, theater of the Kanto Regional Championship.
KIMKI REGIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP
In absentia of Marin Honda and Yuna Shiraiwa, exempted from participation because of the commitments of the last ten days with the Junior Grand Prix circuit, the highlight was represented by the usual battle between the sixteen Never Mihara and fifteen Kaori Sakamoto, both trained in Kobe (prefecture of Hy & # 333; g) the tandem made up Sonoko Nakano and Mitsuko Graham. However, a few hours before the race, & egrave; the package arrived the deputy national junior champion in office, which, consequently, has left the field open to the historic partner of traning.
Mihara (175.30), qualifiers smoothly for the Junior Grand Prix final, confirmed the positive impression aroused in the first part of the season skating two programs without the slightest smear and proving once more & ugrave; It has now gained full mastery of the technique of the triple lutz, in the past certainly not the specialty & agrave; of the House.
In second place, it & egrave; He placed the sixteen year progressed Osaka Kokoro Iwamoto (159.01), previously unprecedented levels in recent days. The business card in view of the Sectional Championships in late October & egrave; represented by a free program with two double axel and seven triple jumps, including a flip taken from a wire not internal, but also two lutz high quality & agrave; (The first in combination with a triple toe loop). Iwamoto preceded by a wide margin the company Riko training Takino (127.94).
The senior competition was won by the favorite Mariko Kihara (150.40), another product dell''ormai established school run by Mie Hamada and Yamoto Tamura. However, the success of the eighteen stationed in Kyoto & egrave; It was more difficult than expected, thanks, cos & Igrave; as happened in the recent Nebelhorn Trophy, a free program with a few mistakes too. Mihara & egrave; It was flawless in the first segment of the race, open to a combination triple toe loop / triple toe loop and a triple Rittberger preceded by step. & nbsp; In the free program, however, after performing a valuable combination triple Rittberger / double toe loop / double Rittberger, you & egrave; completely lost to save succeeding success thanks to feedback on program components and the combination of steps and spins. In particular, & egrave; It emerged a difficult relationship with the jumps focused more valuable (lutz and flip) and in the final c '' & egrave; was also a mistake on Rittberger, habitual specialty & agrave; the house, performed twice instead & egrave; triple. The eighteen year old Hinano Isobe (146.80) not & egrave; He went away from doing the bang by winning the free program with two double axel and five triple jumps completed, including two lutz. Fatal in key victory & egrave; to be a mistake on the triple Rittberger, short rotation and landed on two feet. Third place went & egrave; He placed the twenty-Saya Ueno (136.15).
Even in the test novice female category A (unique program with seven jump elements, a maximum of three combinations, three spins, a sequence of steps) is not & egrave; I missed the show due to the presence of Moa Iwano, winner of the national novice B last season, and Rika Kihira, athlete able to play in training the triple axel. Success & egrave; It was conquered by surprise Kihira (94.55), which has paved the rival on the technical side by completing a double axel and six triple jumps, including two lutz and a Rittberger landed with step-out. For Iwano (93.23) to win not & egrave; enough for a margin of six points on the components of the program. The defeat, as in 'habit encyclopedic on tops, & egrave; He took to the track with the 'ambition to perform a double axel and seven triples, but you & egrave; view degrading to double the last jump of the triple combinations salchow / triple rittbeger and double axel / triple toe loop, not to mention the lost points because of a triple flip taken by a thread not internal. In third position, you & egrave; placed Midori Yokoyama (78.00), ahead of the 'eleven Miyu Honda, younger sister of Marin, winner's Last qualifying round of the Junior Grand Prix.
The senior men's race & egrave; It was won by Daisuke Isozaki (164.64), ahead of Kohei Yoshino (146.93) and Keichiro Sasahara (143.71). In the junior category, success for seventeen Kazuki Tomono (183.83), which preceded the nineteen Shu Nakamura (167.68), the fourteen year old Mitsuki Sumoto (165.59) and the seventeen year old Taichi Honda (153.62), brother of Marin and Miyu. Tomono, very disappointing nell''unica of the season in the Junior Grand Prix circuit, landed two triple axels in the free program and a quadruple salchow with step-out.
On the sidelines, it should be noted the large number of girls enrolled, however, normal for the Regional Championship that brings together the prefectures of Nara, Wakayama, Mie, Ky & # 333; to, & # 332; saka, Hy & # 333; go and Shiga.
KANTO REGIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP
The main source of interest was clearly shown by the terms of Yuna Aoki, seventh in the stage of the Junior Grand Prix in Riga and then deprived of his second assignment for selection of Japanese federation. The thirteen year old Yokohama City, novice national champion in office, you & egrave; easily sets in the junior competition, but confirmed some technical problems which come nell''Asian Trophy, he won anyway, and then the stage of the Junior Grand Prix.
In the short program, Aoki & egrave; able to perform the combination triple lutz / triple Rittberger planned, sticking to a triple lutz Rittberger simple. And '' also got a call from the suspect wire triple flip preceded by step, while double axel and spins were performed admirably. In the segment pi & ugrave; long race, however, the combination triple lutz / triple Rittberger gave the 'impression of being well finished, but & egrave; There's a call to jump under rotated the triple Rittberger. Also, do not & egrave; successful combination double axel / triple toe loop / double toe loop, why & egrave; the first toe loop & egrave; It was downgraded to a double and the second & egrave; It was run single.
