The short program featuring the triple Axel which she reflected on as her best performance of the season earned a high score Aimi Nakai from Niigata Prefecture 17 years old
The Olympic Games transformed from a dream to a goal in his senior debut year Now the decisive free skate is upon us
Short event third place: Aimi Nakai
To the target Olympics
The triple Axel fell apart midway
It's serious
Triple loop double loop
Rebuilding it
Niigata Prefecture has set its limits
It is stable
Acid spin
A player known for lacking stability due to a low acid position
The senior debut year has continued to make a powerful impression
A three-game stretch featuring both teams scoring is scheduled
Switched to the third jump
Triple flip Perfectly executed
A narrow victory
Seventh inning
Triple loop it seems
Carve deeply from within expanding the form and boldly utilizing space
Reversal spin Increasing rotational speed Transition to the
beer man position
Combination spin starting from the foot
The transition between positions is swift as well
Whether the dream reached its destination or not
The technical score has been updated to 73.08 placing the athlete
at the top among all competitors so far in the technical event
Previously I competed in the junior category alongside Mao Shima
We both earned medals at the World Junior Championships two years ago
This season at the age of 17 she made her junior debut
Winning outright right at the start of the Grand Prix season
At first he spoke as if he hadn't realized the Olympics were right around the corner
Nakayama who finished second among Japanese skaters at the Grand Prix Final
It turned out as a jump like this but
Mr Arakawa everything except the opening is all caten
That's right After the intended triple Axel came down as a two-and-a-half jump she
executed a solid transition and smoothly carried through the program with composure
This is the first jump
I think I may have tensed up a bit too much here
After that I quickly transitioned and added combinations starting from the triple loop
The jump which was originally scheduled to come last was instead brought forward and executed as the opening combination
The subsequent three rotations were also exceptionally impressive
Most importantly were able to clearly demonstrate the high quality that ensures Catena maintains her level even in spins and steps
I believe factors like these account for a significant part of this season's remarkable progress
Also change the triple jump to a double Axel
That's right Because the double jump input feels slightly delayed and it immediately
registers as a double jump from the start we need to ensure the jump duplication isn't removed
I think this was extremely calm Switching and adjusting
based on what kind of mistake
was made The score is 136.06
Standing atop the leaderboard guarantees a podium finish and with a score
of 213.56 Nakai Aimi has secured second place and a podium spot at this stage
I nearly
slipped but I didn’t fall Back home
