The first Gold Medals have been awarded at this year’s Dynamic Billard European Championships and team Austria had a dream start in any aspect. Both Gold Medals were taken by the Ouschans, Jasmin in the women’s and Albin in the men’s division.
Jasmin Ouschan had a tough draw today. In the quarterfinals, she dealt with Anna Mazhirina (RUS) quite clearly with 75:21. Then in the semifinal, she encountered Caroline Roos (SWE). That match started off well for Ouschan. She needed 7 innings in order to finish Roos’ dreams of a final appearance in straight pool this year. 75:32 was the final result for Ouschan. In the final, she met Oliwia Czuprynska (POL) who had beaten Line Kjoersvik (NOR) 75:61 in her semifinal match. However, the final between Ouschan and Czuprynska turned out to become a nightmare for the Polish. She was allowed to the table three times only and never really got a chance to pocket balls. All she could do was score 2 points and watch Jasmin Ouschan pocket ball after ball in order to snatch the title of the 2016 European Straight Pool Champion.
歐錦賽今晨結束了第一項賽事 Straight pool (14-1)的爭奪。奧地利隊旗開得勝,由Ouschan姊弟包辦男、女子組金牌。
Jasmin Ouschan 在八強賽中75:21輕取俄羅斯的 Anna Mazhirina。四強賽遭遇到瑞典 Caroline Roos,7局過後,再以75:32淘汰 Roos 晉級決賽。而 Ouschan在決賽中的對手是波蘭選手 Oliwia Czuprynska,Czuprynska在四強賽以75:61扳倒挪威好手Line Kjoersvik。決賽對Czuprynska來說猶如夢魘一場,在整場比賽中僅僅3次機會上台,只能看著她的對手 Jasmin Ouschan一球接一球的打進袋,最終奪下歐錦賽 Straight Pool (14-1) 金牌。

At the same time, Jasmin’s brother Albin Ouschan (AUT) played on table 1 next to her. He made history tonight. He was even more dominant than his sister in the final match. He won the lag with Konstantin Stepanov (RUS) and forced him to execute the break shot. Stepanov did that and left a possible but tough shot for Ouschan. „It was a do or die situation“, stated Ouschan after the match. „I knew when I went for the shot I’d either make it and get ahead quite well or I might give a chance to Konstantin which I would regret.“ Ouschan pocketed the ball and ran another 124 after that, winning the straight pool discipline in the final match in one (1!) inning. That, together with the fact that a pair of brother and sister took the title almost simultaneously, writes a big story in the history of European Pool Billiards.
Albin Ouschan defeated defending Champion Nick van den Berg (NED) in the semifinal with 125:66.
與此同時,Jasmin的弟弟 Albin Ouschan 則在她隔壁的主桌進行決賽。Albin 在四強賽以125:66擊敗衛冕冠軍 Nick van den Berg。他在決賽的對手是俄羅斯的 Konstantin Stepanov。Albin 可說是完全主宰了整場比賽。Albin 在比球上勝出,迫使 Stepanov 進行開球,開球過後,留下一計可進攻但高難度的一球,Albin在順利打進那球後,連續吃下其餘的124球,最終就以完封了他的對手,拿下勝利。
“那完全是背水一戰的情況… 我知道如果我成功打進那球,可以獲得相當成功的一面,亦或者我將會因此而懊悔並把機會給到了Konstantin“ Albin賽後說到。而Ouschan姊弟幾乎同時地一起拿下冠軍,這也締造了歐錦賽的新歷史。
