In the Grand Prix Series France tournament of figure skating, a short program in the first half of the men's single was held, and Yuma Kagiyama took the lead by deciding two quadruple jumps that made a mistake in the Italian tournament held in November.

The French tournament, which is the 5th round of the Grand Prix series of figure skating, was held in Grenoble on the 19th, and the short program of the first half of the men's and women's singles was held. Year-old Kagiyama participated.



At the beginning of the performance, Kagiyama decided to make a continuous jump from the quadruple salchow, and then firmly decided on the two quadruple jumps that he made a mistake in the Italian tournament, such as getting a high performance score in the following quadruple toe loop.



In the latter half of the performance, the triple Axel got the highest rating level four in three spins and steps, although the icing was disturbed and there was a deduction, and he took the lead with a score of 100.64, which is close to the personal best of the short program.



In addition, Shun Sato, who was 17 years old in the same grade as Kagiyama, made a mistake that the quadruple Lutz became three revs, but he decided to jump continuously from the quadruple toe loop and finished fourth with 87.82.



On the other hand, in the women's single, Higuchi Wakaba, who is aiming for the first Olympics, participated and challenged the triple Axel at the beginning, but he made a mistake in the jump such as becoming a single and finished 6th at 63.87.



Yuhana Yokoi was 11th with 52.32.



The top player in the first half was Anna Shelvakova of Russia, who won the world championship last season, with almost no mistakes and 77.94.



The second half of the men's and women's singles will be free on the 20th.

Kagiyama "I have no anxiety"

After the short program, Yuma Kagiyama, the top player, said, "I think it's a big step forward to be on the 100s even if there are small mistakes, and I think it's a part where I was able to grow. I would like to discuss with my father and decide whether to put in the quadruple loop, but since the rest of the composition will not change, I want to put it together firmly. "



Then, toward the free time in the second half, he tightened his feelings, saying, "I don't have any anxiety right now, so I want to attack."
