In-course specials are being maximized in the early part of the season.
According to the National Sports Promotion Agency, the three elements of victory are motor, athlete, and course. In particular, the advantages and disadvantages of each course are clearly divided in the development of the first turn, which has a great influence on the winning performance. Courses are generally divided into in-course 1 to 2 courses, center courses 3 to 4 courses, and out courses 5 to 6.
If you look at the winning records of 119 races by course this year, which were held until last week, you can see the in-course super strength more clearly. The first course ranked first with 39.5% and the second course with 23.5%, which together reached 63%. On the other hand, the 3rd course was 16.8%, the 4th course was 7.6%, the 5th course was 8.4%, and the 6th course was 4.2%.
The second place performance is similar. The first course is the highest at 29%, followed by 23.1% for the second course, 15.5% for the third course, 12.6% for the fourth course, 11.3% for the fifth course, and 8.4% for the sixth course. As such, it is concentrated on most of the winning in-course. In particular, the first and second prize rates of the first course have been the highest in the last 10 years.
Experts analyzed this phenomenon as a result of a combination of several causes. First of all, the players did not train enough due to the fierce cold wave. Training opportunities to check the sense of start have been reduced, making it difficult to try aggressive start matches in practice. In this situation, if the start level is similar, the in-course will naturally be advantageous.
Thin ice at the edge of the water surface is also a variable. The range of sleep available to players is reduced, and it is difficult to throw a game-winner that sticks together or winds. Therefore, in the recent development of the first turn, the strategy centered on dropping out and stabbing is prominent.
Experts believe the in-course strength will continue for the time being. In a situation where the difference in starting ability between players has narrowed, even low-skilled players can have a higher concentration on winning prizes when allocating in-course.
In fact, some of these unusual events have already appeared. In the 14th and 15th races on January 7th (the 2nd round), Lee Sang-moon (12th, B1) and Son Geun-sung (2nd, B1) who were assigned the 1st course ranked first, respectively, recording 19.5 times and 37.7 times in both wins.
Multiple experts predicted, "Until the blooming spring comes, it is necessary to pay most attention to the 'course' among courses, skills, and motors."
