Rivers burst their banks, there were landslides and flooded roads – Italy was hit by sometimes violent storms at the start of the week.

On Tuesday afternoon a storm with heavy rain and hail swept through Catania in Sicily. There was also talk of injuries – but according to the Ansa news agency, nobody had to go to the hospital. Four arriving aircraft were diverted to other airports. The residents of the city on Etna were asked to stay in their homes. According to the information, there was damage to homes and businesses, trees were uprooted and roads were closed.

In the Liguria region, massive rains on Monday and Tuesday caused rivers to overflow. A small bridge collapsed, ten families had to be evacuated by the rescue workers, as reported by the Italian media.

In Savona on Monday it rained heavier than ever in the history of the coastal province, so that there were mudslides and floods. Road and train connections had to be interrupted.

Sena Miyake is the official record personal best and 5th place “The score has dropped significantly”

4大陸選手権で演技する三宅星南(ロイター) <フィギュアスケート:4大陸選手権>◇21日◇エストニア・タリン◇男子ショートプログラム(SP) 三宅星南(19=関大)が国際スケート連盟(ISU)公認記録では自己ベストの79・67点をマークした。5位でフリーへ進んだ。冒頭の4回転サルコーをこらえて降りると、続くトリプルアクセル(3回転半)も着氷。最後の3回転ルッツ-3回転トーループも決めた。しかし、得点が出ると首をかしげ「全日本選手権から大幅に点数が下がってしまったんで」と全く満足しなかった。先月24日に行われた全日本のSPでは、ISU非公認ながら90・52点を記録していた。その全日本では6位と躍進し、今大会の代表に初めて選ばれた。「全日本はフリーでミスがあったし、まだまだ完璧ではなかったけど、自分の力を出し切ることができた。(その後はインカレ3位をへて)調子が良くても悪くても練習を積むことを意識した」と技術を磨いてきた。あらためて4大陸選手権への出場が決まった時の思いを問われると「順位や点数は意識してなかった全日本で6位。選んでいただいた時は本当にうれしかったし、目標としていた大会なので、いい経験をさせてもらえるな、頑張ろうと思った」と振り返った。ただ、スコアに笑顔はなく「まだ世界の大会に出ていなくて名前が知られていない。知ってもらえるように頑張りたい」と燃えた。ジュニアグランプリ(GP)シリーズでは常連。今後はシニアでもセナの名を売り込んでいく。【木下淳】
