The ceremony of laying the cornerstone of the sub-rink of the Ice Arena in Chukyo University for supporting Miki & Mao was held.
July 2nd, 2008 (JST)
By Masakazu Saito
In the Toyota campus of Chukyo University where the leading figure skaters of the world such as Miki Ando (20, Chukyo University, Toyota Motor), Mao Asada (17, Chukyo University Chukyo High School) and others, place the training base, it got establishing the sub rink "Rainbow Rink" as annex to the ice arena "Aurora Rink", and the ceremony of laying the cornerstone of it was held there.
It is to be completed in January of next year.
It both supports Ando and Mao for Vancouver Olympics and leads to the improvement of the training environment of the other leading players, too.
It becomes the training base also for supporting "the figure skating kingdom Aichi".
Miki和Mao等其他高手训练所在地的Chukyo University7月2日又开始建一个新冰场，名叫“彩虹”，作为原有冰场“黎明女神”的辅助场馆。为Miki和Mao冲击温哥华冬奥会使用，并作为“爱知县花滑王国”的训练基地。预计将于明年1月完工。
The ice arena in Chukyo University completed with spending about 1,200 million yen in May last year.
Eight players in Chukyo University such as Ando, Takahiko Kozuka, etc and five players in Chukyo University Chukyo High School such as Mao Asada etc, practice there, moreover, it is specified as the training base of the National Training Center (NTC) of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology in Japan and it is opened also for the leading players of the extramural.
However, for example, Ando and Mao Asada are a rival each other even if they are the skaters belonging to the school of same Chukyo University Group.
Therefore, because the leading players who use there increased, it became narrow and it became difficult to do adjustment of the time among the players, too.
Therefore, to cancel the distress, this time, the University decided the construction of sub rink "the Rainbow Rink" with spending about 400 million yen.
It becomes the figure skating base which spent 1,600 million yen with the total of 400 million yen and 1,200 million yen.
原来的冰场造价12亿日元，作为Chukyo大学、高中队员的训练基地，其中包括Miki和Mao。随着训练人数增加，场馆问题突出，因此决定新建一个“彩虹牌”冰场缓解场馆压力。新冰场造价4亿日元。
"The Rainbow Rink" becomes the rink which is a size smaller than the main rink, as 20 meters of 40 meter. For the sub rink, it makes easy to confirm a form with installing two sheets of mirror on the wall, and it creates an identity between the coach and the player with removing a fence around the rink. It says that it was designed while it adopted aggressively an opinion also of the players side of Ando etc. “彩虹牌”冰场长40，宽20，两旁安装落地镜，并且不会设置围栏，使教练员与运动员沟通更方便。设计过程还参考了Miki等运动员的意见。（我就不翻译aggressively了）
On this day, the 60 person approximately such as Kiyohiro Umemura who is a president and chief director in Umemura academy which manages Chukyo University, and Kiyoshi Hijikata who is an alumni association chairmen, etc attended a ceremony of laying the cornerstone of the sub rink. The president and chief director, Umemura said "I want to give the children the dream and to make the rink which can contribute to Japan and the world as the National Training Center in Japan" and promised to cooperate maximumly to training the figure skating players. The gorgeous facilities support Ando and Mao Asada who aim at the gold medal at Vancouver Olympics in 2010. 约60名官僚参加了奠基仪式，官僚头目感慨万分：“我多么希望实现孩子们的一个梦啊！这个冰场注定要为日本强大、世界和平做出巨大贡献！并且将成为日本国国立训练中心！我将以我最大的力量来帮助Miki和Mao实现她们的温哥华金牌梦！多么伟大的冰场！啊！”
