The 10-ball competition at the Dynamic Billard European Championships in St. Johann i.Pg., Austria, have been decided. The Gold Medals and titles were taken by Jasmin Ouschan (AUT), Jouni Tahti (FIN) and David Alcaide (ESP).
The women’s division showed Jasmin Ouschan winning her second title this week. After taking the crown in straight pool, today she won the 10-ball title as well with a never endangered 6:2 victory over Line Kjoersvik (NOR). The final match was more or less a one woman show. It must be stated though that Kjoersvik also seemed to be a bit unfortunate at times. She could not really benefit from her breakshot until Ouschan was already 4:0 up. That was simply too much to comeback for. „I played quite well in 10-ball“ stated Ouschan after the match, „though I do struggle with my shoulder. The tournament seems to be going my way“ added Ouschan with a smile. Ouschan ousted Oliwia Czuprynska (POL) 6:3 in the semifinal while Kjoersvik defeated Marika Poikkijoki (FIN) with 6:2.
歐錦賽今晨於奧地利St. Johann i.Pg結束10號球項目爭奪。最終分別由奧地利名將 Jasmin Ouschan, 芬蘭的 Jouni Tahti 及西班牙好手 David Alcaide 奪下冠軍。
女子組方面，Jasmin Ouschan 在四強賽中 6:2 打敗波蘭的 Oliwia Czuprynska，而 Kjoersvik 則以 6:2 擊退芬蘭好手 Marika Poikkijoki。整場決賽猶如一場個人表演，Kjoersvik 在決賽中的衝球表現始終不盡理想，讓 Ouschan 很快便取得 4:0 領先，再加上運氣似乎不在 Kjoersvik 身上，最終 Ouschan 擊敗挪威名將，拿下個人在本周繼 straight pool (14-1) 後的第二面金牌。”我在10號球上的表現相當好，雖然肩膀能有些不舒服，但整理賽事目前為止相當不錯” Ouschan 帶著微笑的在賽後說到。
In the wheelchair division, Jouni Tahti managed to defend his title from last year. Though he had to take the detour over the loser’s side, he came back strong and clearly defeated Kurt Deklerck (BEL) with 6:2 in the final match. That eliminated Daniel Lee (GBR) in the semis while Deklerck ended David Himpe’s (BEL) hopes for an appearance in the final match.
輪椅組方面，芬蘭好手 Jouni Tahti 在首場比賽不幸敗給另一位瑞典好手 Henrik Larsson，讓他不得不從敗部突圍而出。他在準決賽淘汰英國的 Daniel Lee，而比利時的 Kurt Deklerck 則擊敗他的隊友 David Himpe。 Jouni Tahti 憑藉在決賽中強勁的發揮，最終 6:2 打敗 Deklerck，贏得冠軍並成功衛冕。
In the men’s division, the final match was a heartbreaker packed with drama and action. David Alcaide was trailing 2:4 after six racks to his strong opponent Petri Makkonen (FIN). Then he overtook Makkonen with 6:4 and 7:5. Both players seemed to be nervous and committed unusual mistakes during the match. The pressure was definitely on. As in every good drama, it came to a hill-hill situation at 7:7. There Alcaide broke the balls and had a layout where the 6-ball was blocked by the 10-ball. He pocketed all balls until the 6-ball was on and then came up with a magnificent safety shot. But Makkonen hit that shot over two rails and left a tough bank shot for Alcaide. The Spaniard went for it, made it and ran the rack to win the match and the title with 8:7. „We both were pretty nervous“ admitted Alcaide after the match, „that’s why we made these mistakes. In the last rack, I thought my safety was perfect but Petri made a real good shot. He forced me to go for the bank shot. It was a do or die situation for me. I’m glad I won this title,“ added Alcaide.
最後在男子組方面，決賽充滿了戲劇性張力! 開賽6局過後，David Alcaide 2:4 落後芬蘭好手 Petri Makkonen。接著連追4局，反倒取得超前。決賽的壓力，似乎使兩位選手太過緊張乃至在比賽中接連發生失誤。比紛來到 7:7 致勝局，Alcaide 開局衝球後，6號球被10號球擋住。他灌袋進了每顆球，在擊打6號球上做了一記成功的防守。Makkonen 兩顆星解到球後留下一記灌袋的機會給了 Alcaide 。Alcaide 成功的灌進那顆球，順利清光台面，最終就以 8:7 力克對手奪冠。 “我們兩個人都太緊張，那也是我們發生失誤的因素。 在最後一局中，我以為我的安全球相當完美，但 Petri 成功的解球，讓我面對道那記灌袋。那完全是背水一戰的情況，我很高興我贏得比賽。”
