The World Figure Skating Championships are currently underway, and for the Japanese team, this figure skating tournament should be a harvest world championship. No, in the women's figure skating short program competition that has been completed, The Japanese sister Hanaori Sakamoto played well and became the focus of the scene. Her score in this short program not only set her own new high, but also surpassed the "qianjin" Sherbakova who won the Beijing Winter Olympics, second only to K Bauvarlieva. And her outstanding performance is expected to allow the Japanese team to win the world figure skating championships again after a gap of 8 years.
The world of women's figure skating looks at Russia, yes, the level of Russian women's figure skating is the ceiling of today's figure skating world. At the Beijing Winter Olympics, the three Russian women's figure skating sisters Sherbakova, Trusova and Vallieva can be said to have amazed the world. These three little fairies who came out of the fairy tale world, with their high appearance and strength, staged one visual feast after another on the big stage of the Beijing Winter Olympics. Their names are also known all over the world and have gained countless fans. However, the Current World Figure Skating Championships, they are unable to participate due to external influences, which not only makes the ice fans who like and support them regret, but also makes the stars of this World Figure Skating Championships dim.
It has been said that the three russian figure skating girls in the figure skating world are from other planets, while the Japanese sister Sakamoto Hanori is the strongest on the earth. This seems to be true. In the absence of three beautiful girls from Russia at the World Championships, Hanori Sakamoto became the biggest star among the women's figure skaters. The Japanese figure skater who unexpectedly won the Olympic bronze medal at the Beijing Winter Olympics and cried with joy did not disappoint the fans who liked her, performed well in the short program that had been performed, and advanced to the free skating competition with a very big advantage.
At the Beijing Winter Olympics, although Vallieva only finished fourth in the final women's singles competition, her performance in the short program can be called perfect. In the short program competition at that time, Vallieva played very well, scoring 82.16 points, and with a relatively large advantage, she advanced to the free skate as the first place. This time at the World Championships, Hanori Sakamoto became the focus of the entire competition without three Russian girls participating. I have to say that the strength of this Japanese sister is really good, she scored 80.32 points in the short program. What is the concept of this score? If you compare it, then Sakamoto's score is only less than Valyeva's 82.16 points at the Beijing Winter Olympics, surpassing the final champion Serbakova and silver medalist Trusova. At the time, Serbakova and Trusova scored 80.20 and 74.60 points respectively in the short show. Of course, Sakamoto's score also exceeded his 79.84 points at the Beijing Winter Olympics. In other words, This score of Hanori Sakamoto also set his own personal record. So, after the game, Hanori Sakamoto smiled very happily.
Without Serbakova, Trusova and Vallieva competing, there is no doubt that Hanori Sakamoto has basically locked up the title of this World Figure Skating Championships. After all, she had already gained a relatively large advantage in the short program, and in the free skating competition, except for the three Russian beautiful girls, no one could pose a great threat to her. At the Beijing Winter Olympics, Hanaori Sakamoto also performed well in the free skating competition, scoring 78.90 points, which is why she was able to win the Olympic bronze medal. It can be said that Sakamoto Hanori has already incorporated this gold medal into his arms in advance.
If Hanori Sakamoto eventually wins the championship, it will be the second time in 2014 that Japan's Masayoshi Asada won the World Championships, and then reached the top of the Figure Skating World Championships after eight years. Although this time because the Russian figure skaters failed to participate, the gold content is not enough, but it cannot be denied that the Japanese women's figure skater is indeed the world's first-class level.
