[Attention to
Women's
Miho Takagi]
Women won three medals at the previous Pyonchan tournament. Attention is paid to the slip of Miho Takagi, the medium- and long-distance ace that was acquired.
We have already confirmed that we will be represented at 1000 meters and 1500 meters, but we are aiming to become a representative at 500 meters and 3000 meters.
If all of them are unofficially decided, Takagi will be able to participate in the 5th event at the Beijing tournament with the addition of the women's team Pachute.
[Men's 500m Conflict over the remaining 1 slot] In the
men
's 500m,
Tatsuya Shinhama and Shigeko Mori have already confirmed the representative appointment for the Japanese participation slot "3", so the selection meeting will be held. It will be a battle over the remaining 1 slot.
Attention is 29-year-old Uma Murakami and 24-year-old Yamato Matsui.
Murakami has a world-class start dash, and this season's World Cup gradually moved up to 2nd place in Round 4.
Matsui, on the other hand, kept his center of gravity low and had a long slip in the latter half of the race.
At this representative selection meeting, except for Shinhama and Morishige, the top-ranked player who has broken the dispatch standard record of 34.68 seconds set by the Japan Skating Federation will be confirmed as a representative.
