Higuchi Wakaba Mankan's 2nd place "Yeah!"

Higuchi Wakaba sheds tears after free acting

"Figure Skating All Japan Championship" (25th, Saitama Super Arena) Kaori Sakamoto (21) = Sysmex = ranked first in free following the short program (SP), totaling 234.06 points for the first time in 3 years 2 I won the championship for the second time. Sakamoto met her selection criteria and was selected to represent the Olympics for the second consecutive tournament. Higuchi Wakaba (20) = Meiji University = ranked second with a total of 221.78 points. Mana Kawabe (17) = Kinoshita Academy = landed a triple axel (three and a half jumps) even in free after SP, and finished third with 209.65 points. Mai Mihara (Sysmex) is 4th and Satoko Miyahara (Kinoshita Group) is 5th. The women's Olympic team will be announced in three slots after the tournament on the 26th. Higuchi barked. "Yay!!". A powerful guts pose while unwinding the last pose. She raised the soul's sword many times. Hugging with coach Koji Okamoto and crying. Four years' worth of thoughts overflowed into "personal best" in both free and total. "I was nervous and my legs trembled, and I slipped with a feeling that my legs weren't strong. I slipped with a strong feeling." The triple Axel at the beginning landed all the jumps without collapsing even though the icing was disturbed. He played "The Lion King" robustly. Four years ago, the Pyeongchang Olympics competition over two slots was lost in 4th place in all Japan. Although there have been some ups and downs for four years, we have honed our weapon called the triple Axel and welcomed this tournament. After finishing the SP, I didn't hesitate to take on the big skill challenge during the great melee. "I've been doing my best only for all Japan. I was able to perform the best here, and I've grown mentally to the extent that it's not as good as it was four years ago." The evolved king of beasts. Do not miss the targeted "prey". It is certain that you will get an Olympic ticket.
