ISML 2008: Could Shana's Aquamarine defense be successful?
March 27, 2008
With five match days in both the 2009 International Saimoe League and ISML Aquamarine phase completed, all signs point to Shana completing a possibly successful defense of her Aquamarine necklace.
But with four match days to go, and ten others on her tail, it's just as safe to say: "It's not over yet!"
For Shana, her latest assignment was Marisa Kirisame. No problem. The outcome? A 1279-599 laugher in Moscow.
As for a number of the other heavyweights, it was more of the same.
Defending champ Fate Testarossa Harlaown pummeled Anya Earlstreim, 1114-632 in Bangkok. Nanoha Takamachi outlasted Ami Kawashima 925-818 in Algiers while Kyou Fujibayashi took down Reimu Hakurei 1141-664 in Cairo. Kotomi Ichinose had no problems against Shinku, pulling out her always-reliable violin in a 1125-600 thumping in Paris. Konata Izumi schooled Yuuhi Katagiri, 1162-648, in Mumbai, while Yuki Nagato delivered a 1274-602 defeat to Chii in Tokyo.
C.C. put the clamps on Alice Carroll, 1092-594 in Toronto, Haruhi Suzumiya defeated Mikuru Asahina 1149-648 in Katowice, and the Hiiragi sisters had their day. Tsukasa crushed Index L. Prohibitorum, 1110-700 in Buenos Aires, while Kagami took down Mei Sunohara, 1117-721, in London.
