A Russian night in St. Johann i.Pg, Austria.
The Gold Medals at the Dynamic Billard European Championships Youth in the straight pool individuals have just been awarded. Maxim Dudanets (RUS) and Fedor Gorst (RUS) have taken the first titles in this year’s event.
The story of the Under 19’s final is quickly told. Maksim Dudanets had to deal with Michael Schneider (SUI). The Swiss was leading 8:3 when Dudanets got to the table and ran 84 balls, turning the scoreboard to 87:8 in his favor. That broke Schneider’s neck in the match. He did try to come back but he was probably in his chair for too long already. He could not get position on the balls and tried a safety shot. Dudanets called the 3-ball with a combination shot from the pack and ran the needed 13 balls to clearly win the final match with 100:13.
The finals in the Under 17’s was much closer. Defending Champion Daniel Maciol (POL) was almost there, leading 72:53 over Gorst. But then Gorst got to the table and started an amazing effort, running 22 balls to win the match and the Championship with 75:72. This is Gorst’s first title on a European level.
2015 青少年歐錦賽第一個比賽項目14-1於今晨結束，由兩位俄羅斯選手Maxim Dudanets與Fedor Gorst分別奪下19歲以下組及17歲以下組冠軍。
青年組(19歲以下)決賽中，Maksim Dudanets碰上來自瑞士的Michael Schneider。在剛開賽階段瑞士的Schneider取得8:3領先，而Dudanets上場後，則是一口氣連續進攻了84球，將比數帶到對他絕對有利的87:8，而Dudanets這一杆的進球似乎也決定了比賽的勝負。Schneider雖嘗試追趕，但在場邊等待太久的時間，一時間似乎無法立刻地找回手感，在球的走位及安全球上都出了問題。Dudanets 在打進了一記3號的組合球後，拿下來最後13顆球，最終以100:13擊敗他的對手贏得冠軍。
少年組(17歲以下)方面，雙方比數要來得接近些。衛冕冠軍波蘭選手Daniel Maciol 以72:53領先著Fedor Gorst，僅僅差3球就能夠成功衛冕，但隨後當Gorst再度回到場上後，展現了驚人的發揮，連續進攻了22球，最終就以75:72逆轉擊敗Maciol拿下冠軍。而這也是現年15歲的Gorst的第一個冠軍。

Earlier today, the first rounds of the 10-ball individuals have been played. The girls have entered the stage here in St. Johann. The only remaining medallist from last year in the girl’s division is Marharyta Fefilava (BLR). She opened her tournament appearance with a convincing 5:0 victory over Vilde Mary Holme (NOR). In the same round, Jana Peters (GER) defeated Michelle Sandman (NOR) with the same result. Kristina Tkach (RUS) won her match over Agata Sidio (POL) with 5:1. Last year’s Champion’s sister Diana Khodjaeva (BEL) also took her first match with 5:2 over Dina Fatihova (RUS).
稍早也開始進行了10號球個人項目的競爭。
女子選手們也在當天加入到了賽事當中。去年在9號球項目中拿下亞軍的白俄羅斯選手Marharyta Fefilava 在個人的第一場比賽以5:0零封了她的對手挪威的Vilde Mary Holme，同一輪當中，來自德國的Jana Peters也以5:0的比數零封了她的對手，而苦主則同樣是來自挪威的選手Michelle Sandman。去年的8號球冠軍俄羅斯選手Kristina Tkach則以5:1擊敗來自波蘭的Agata Sidio，而去年的冠軍Kamila Khodjaeva的妹妹Diana Khodjaeva也以5:2打敗俄羅斯的Dina Fatihova取得勝利。
In the Under 17 category, defending Champion Maksim Dudanets (RUS) is not competing anymore since he reached the age limit and plays now in the Under 19’s. So, last year’s runner-up Eklent Kaci can be considered kind of a favorite player here. He played Kamil Szasor (POL) in his first match and the encounter turned out to become an epic thriler. At 5:5, both players exchanged brilliant safety shots with Szasor being the player with the first chance to clear the table. But he ran out of position and played safety again. Kaci was able to provide several resafes himself but Szasor came up with a brilliant shot with three balls left on the table, forcing Kaci to commit a foul. That brought Szasor to the table with ball in hand and he ended the match 6:5 in his favor. Kaci then went to the loser’s side and defeated Sandro Volery (SUI) with 6:1 which booked him a ticket among the final 32 players in the 10-ball individuals Under 17’s.
少年組方面，去年的衛冕冠軍俄羅斯的Maksim Dudanets因年齡限制關係，今年將無法參予這個組別的比賽，而是轉往了少年組。另一方面，去年的亞軍，來自阿爾巴尼亞的Eklent Kaci在第一場比賽對上了波蘭的Kamil Szasor，Szasor則遭遇了一場苦戰。當比數來到5:5時，雙方球員都展現了非常精彩的安全球大戰，而Szasor成為第一個有機會清台結束比賽的選手，但在跑位上出現狀況，使得必須再次做安全球，Kaci做了幾次精彩的安全球，但Szasor的一擊，迫使了Kaci出現犯規。這也讓Szasor取得自由球的機會並以6:5結束掉比賽。而Kaci在輸球，落入到敗部後，則以6:1擊敗瑞士選手Sandro Volery ，這場勝利也讓Kaci進入到了最後32強的單敗淘汰階段。
In the Under 19’s, defending Champion Joshua Filler (GER) has not been announced by the German Federation. Therefore, only last year’s U17 Gold Medallist Maksim Dudanets and U19 Bronze Medallist Vitaly Patsura (UKR) could be spotted as favorites. Of course, there were also other known names in the field such as Andreas Madsen (DEN), Raphael Wahl (GER) and Cyriel Ledoux (NED). In fact, Wahl and Ledoux met in the winner’s qualification round and the match was very high class. Being 5:6 down, Wahl was at the table with 3 balls left. Wahl missed an easy 10-ball and left a rail-first-shot to Ledoux. The Dutch player took the risk and pocketed the 10-ball, winning that match with 7:5.
最後在青年組方面，衛冕冠軍德國的Joshua Filler並未出現在德國協會所公布的名單上。因而僅去年少年組冠軍Maksim Dudanets及青年組Vitaly Patsura被視為奪牌熱門人選。雖然如此，但在這個組別當中，還是有著另外幾位著名的選手們，像是來自丹麥的Andreas Madsen、德國選手Raphael Wahl以及荷蘭的 Cyriel Ledoux。而Wahl與Ledoux 兩人在勝部資格賽的比賽中，展現了一場高水平的演出。在5:6落後的情況下，Wahl在場上進攻，台面上剩下三顆球，Wahl在10號球上發生失誤，留下了一記需左手出桿的球形給了Ledoux，Ledoux仍打進了最後的10號球並以7:5擊敗了Wahl，拿下勝利。
The tournament will continue tomorrow at 09:00 local time with the first round of the team competition. In the afternoon, the 10-ball individuals will continue.
