The first round of the Snowboard World Cup, Slopestyle, was held in Canada on the 1st, with 17-year-old Kokomo Murase winning for the first time and Miyabi Onitsuka in second place.
Snowboard slopestyle competes on courses with multiple jump platforms and rails of different shapes.
The first match of this season was held in Canada on the 1st, and 17-year-old Murase passed the top of the Japanese girls who made good results in the qualifying, Onizuka in 2nd place, and Reira Iwabuchi in 4th place. A music player attached and advanced to the final.
In the final, the ranking will be decided by the one with the highest score among the three people who skated twice.
Of these, Murase decided to accelerate from the first stable start while rotating sharply on the rail, and in the first jump, he took advantage of the height to grab the board and rotate.
In the next jump, after rotating sideways, etc., at the end, he vividly decided the "back flip" that rotates behind and marked 77.58, and won the championship for the first time in this event.
Murase is the second World Cup winner to win the championship following Big Air last October.
In addition, Onizuka, who has won a total of two wins in this event, failed to land the jump in the first time and could not improve the score, but in the second time, he scored 77.18 with a stable slide with speed and a jump without mistakes. I finished in 2nd place.
On the other hand, Iwabuchi was in 7th place without increasing the score due to a fall at the landing of the jump during the second run.
Iwabuchi showed anxiety in the future as he showed a gesture of holding his left arm after finishing the run.
On the other hand, among the boys, Makoto Kimata was 8th in the top of the Japanese team, Ruki Tobita was 13th, and Kaito Hamada was 14th.
