THE INDIVIDUAL MEDAL events concluded this afternoon at 2026 Predator European Pool Championships and there were titles for Poland, Germany and Spain. In the men’s event, Daniel Maciol added to his 10-ball gold as he defeated Jonas Souto (ESP) by 9-4 while Ina Kaplan also became a double gold medal winner as she beat countrywoman Joanna Indlekofer 7-1. In the Under-23 final, 19-year-old Spaniard Alvaro Lama-Pereira won a hard-fought match 9-6 as he put paid to Dennis Laszkowski’s hopes of defending in crown.
Maciol had travelled to the event direct from Las Vegas, enduring an 11-hour time difference but he managed his energy superbly throughout the week. He always held Souto at arms-length before pulling away in the home stretch for the win.
Commented Maciol, “It was really difficult, we were both struggling I think, but I had a lead. Jonas couldn’t get many points so I was feeling quite OK with my lead and step-by- step, I was getting closer and closer. The last rack was really a nice layout after my break and I managed to finish it.
“I’m feeling great, I’m over the moon to be honest I can’t imagine I managed to win two disciplines here in Turkey, especially when I was only playing in three, so two out three. I’m so proud of myself.
It’s an additional reward for me. Now I have in my career two gold medals and it happened here in Turkey so I will never forget this place.
“The first days weren’t easy but day-by-day I was feeling better and I was trying to push myself to the limit and I did so I’m grateful for that.”
Bronze medals went to Tobias Bongers (GER) and Ronald Regli (SUI).
Ina Kaplan was another double champion as she added 9-ball to her straight pool gold medal, enjoying a comfortable victory over Johanna Indlekofer. With the match lasting a little over 35 minutes, Kaplan ceded nothing as she cantered to the finishing line. Earlier, Indlekofer enjoyed a career-highlight win as she beat Jasmin Ouschan 7-5 in her semi-final.
Commented Kaplan, “I’m so happy that I won my second gold medal here. I played quite well all tournament and I’m really happy I did it in the final too. I’m just over the moon! After last year I got two finals in the singles and one in the team and I didn’t get a gold so this year I’m just happy that I played my game and it worked out.
“She won against Jasmin Ouschan and it’s really hard to play against her and to win so I know the feeling and I know that afterwards it’s hard to play your A game again. I feel for Johanna and I’m still happy for her that she got into the final and it’s a really great effort from here. I hoped for one gold and it’s really tough here, you have so many matches and you have to feel good and confident all the time and that’s really hard and I’m really happy!” she added.
Jasmin Ouschan (AUT) and Sandra Baumgartner completed the podium.
Finally, the Under 23’s title went to 19-year Alvaro Lama-Pereira who battled through to deny Dennis Laszkowski a successful title defence. The youngster was well-supported by the Spanish contingent and it was a big moment when he got it over the line. The final rack saw multiple attempts on the 9-ball before Lama-Pereira steadied himself to convert for the biggest moment in his young pool career.
Afterwards, he was somewhat lost for words, “I feel so good and this is unbelievable, I don’t know how to speak. When I was 5-1 up, he asked the ref for his time out and then he put 6-4 to me and I failed on two breaks and he is a very good player. But I managed it and this team here is the best one, so viva Espana!”
Beaten semi-finalists were Kristian Mrva (SVK) and Juho Teittinen (FIN).

個人賽落幕 Maciol, Kaplan 與 Lama-Pereira 奪9號球金牌
2026年Predator歐洲撞球錦標賽個人賽項目(8號球、9號球、10號球與 14-1 屬之。) 於土耳其當地時間昨日落幕，由波蘭、德國和西班牙分別獲得金牌。
男子組比賽，由此前獲得10號球金牌的波蘭選手 Daniel Maciol 面對西班牙選手 Jonas Souto。Maciol 直接從拉斯維加斯趕至土耳其參賽，克服了11個小時的時差，他在整個歐錦賽期間都出色地控制住了自己的體力。決賽中 Maciol 始終與 Souto 保持著一定的距離，並在最後階段拉開差距，最終以9-4擊敗 Souto。
Maciol 賽後說道：“比賽真的非常艱難，我覺得我們倆都發揮得很掙扎，但我當時領先。Jonas 沒能拿到多少分，所以我對自己的領先優勢與一步一步地接近勝利感到很滿意，。休息之後，最後一局再開球後的球型非常不錯，我也成功拿下該局。”
我感覺棒極了！我簡直不敢相信自己能在土耳其贏得兩項冠軍，尤其是我只參加了三項比賽，竟然贏了兩項！我為自己感到無比自豪。這對我來說是額外的獎勵。現在我的職業生涯中已經有了兩枚金牌，而且是在土耳其獲得的，所以我永遠不會忘記這個地方。
銅牌由 Tobias Bongers (德國) and Ronald Regli (瑞士) 獲得。
女子決賽則迎來一場德國內戰，由 Ina Kaplan 對上 Joanna Indlekofer；這場比賽僅耗時35分鐘，Kaplan 在決賽中一路領先，最終以7-1輕鬆取勝。Indlekofer 雖不幸落敗，但她在半決賽中以7-5擊敗奧地利名將 Jasmin Ouschan 也是收穫了職業生涯的一場高光勝利。與 Daniel Maciol 一樣，Kaplan 繼10號球金牌後，再斬獲9號球勝利，成為雙料冠軍。
Kaplan 評論道：“我太高興了，我在這裡贏得了我的第二枚金牌。我在整個歐錦賽中都發揮得相當不錯，能在決賽中也做到這一點，我真的非常開心。我簡直欣喜若狂！去年我在單打比賽中打進了兩場決賽，在團體賽一場決賽，但最終都沒能拿到金牌，所以今年我發揮出了我的競技水準並且取得了成功。
Indlekofer 戰勝了 Ouschan，和 Ouschan 比賽並戰勝她真的很難，所以我能體會那種感覺，也知道之後可能很難再發揮出最佳水準。我為 Johanna 感到難過，但我也仍然為她能進入決賽感到高，這本身就是一項了不起的成就。我原本只希望能夠獲得一枚金牌，這裡的比賽真的非常艱難，你要打的比賽很多，並且必須時刻保持著良好狀態和自信，真的很難，而我真的很高興！”
銅牌由 Jasmin Ouschan 與 Sandra Baumgartner 兩位奧地利選包辦。
最終在U23組決賽上，由19歲的西班牙選手 Alvaro Lama-Pereira 碰上衛冕冠軍 Dennis Laszkowski ，經過一番苦戰，在最後一局中，雙方多次嘗試9號球，Lama-Pereira 穩住陣腳，最終拿下這關鍵的一球，以9-6戰勝 Laszkowski，粉碎了他衛冕的希望。成就了他年輕撞球生涯中最輝煌的時刻。
在最後一局中，雙方多次嘗試9號球，拉馬-佩雷拉穩住陣腳，最終拿下這關鍵的一球，成就了他年輕台球生涯中最輝煌的時刻。
賽後： Lama-Pereira 激動得說不出話來：“我感覺太棒了，這簡直難以置信，我都不知道該怎麼表達了。當我5-1領先時，他叫了暫停，然後他把比分追到6-4，我錯失了兩次開球機會，他是一位非常優秀的球員。但我最終還是贏了，我們這支隊伍是最棒的，西班牙萬歲！”
Kristian Mrva (斯洛伐克) 與 Juho Teittinen (芬蘭) 止步半決賽，收穫銅牌。
