The Dynamic Billard European Championships have commenced with the straight pool competition and Andreas Roschkowsky (GER) left a clear mark in terms of going for the title. He won his first round match over Marek Hajdovsky (CZE) in 45 minutes winning 100:0, using only one inning! That is the ultimate start for Roschkowsky and he is definitely a name on the list of the favorites for the title.
Other remarkable first round results include Mateusz Sniegocki (POL) winning with 100:69 over Ruslan Chinakhov (RUS). In the winner’s qualification round of men’s straight pool, the winner of the recent Euro-Tour in Italy, Mieszko Fortunski (POL) lost 55:100 to Mats Schjetne (NOR).
In the first round of the women’s division, favored Oliwia Czuprynska (POL) remained the upper hand over Ana Gradisnik (SLO), winning her first round match with 75:57. However, there were also some surprising results. Tina Vogelmann (GER) used 15 innings in order to win her match over Kristina Tkach (RUS) with 75:45. It seems not to be the day for team Russia. Tkach’s teammate Nataliya Seroshtan (RUS) also lost her opener clearly with 34:75 to Silvia Lopez (ESP).
Then, in winner’s round one, came the first appearance of Austrian superstar Jasmin Ouschan (AUT). She rode flawlessly and won quite clearly with 75:26 over Marika Poikkijoki (FIN). Tina Vogelmann continued her quest and defeated Louise Furberg (SWE) 75:17.
