Japanese West Collegiate Championships?

[AxelLover]

In this interview Yuma Kagiyama mentioned competing at the Lombardia Trophy and the West Collegiate Championships, but I'm not aware of any other competition he took part in this season than the Lombardia Trophy. What are the West Collegiate Championships and did he really compete there this season?

It's a domestic event in Japan, where skaters qualify for the Intercollegiate Championships while competing on behalf of their university. It's a free-skate-only event with no livestream, and yes, he did compete there this season. It was October 20th, and he won with a 181.22 (he popped both his 4F and 3F)

Thank you very much. Too bad there is no recording of that free skate.
