From those who was included at once into number of favourites of the championship, it is necessary to name first of all the deserved master of sports Jury Pashchinskogo (МКБС), become recently in Baku the champion of Europe on «the Free pyramid», and also a last year's triumpher of the championship of Russia on «the Dynamical pyramid» Alexander Chepikova (Yakutia). Good chances successfully to participate in distribution of medals known billiard-players D.Bogushevsky (Barnaul), K.Filippov (Rostov-on-Don), S.Pletnev and A.Zotov (both is Samara), V.Vajntsvajg (Nizhni Novgorod), E.Galijants (МКБС), V.Petushkov (Krasnodar) had also. However how many we assumed, and the total report under any unknown laws places sportsmen in the lawful places. It has turned out so that anybody from named above billiard-players even close has not felt aroma of treasured medals. So, at an initial stage plej-off Jury Pashchinsky has left struggle – it has conceded, and with the devastating account 0:6, to 19-year-old Vagifu Bagirovu from Ekaterinburg. To the sportsman talented and persistent, but yet not burdened with medals and glory. The chetvertfinalnyj barrier was overcome by A.Chepikov, having conceded to the same V.Bagirovu in a beautiful, persistent duel – 5:6. The quarterfinal was reached also by all eminent sportsmen named above.

 

Ball absolutely other persons corrected. First of all Siberian Andrey Frejze (Kemerovo) – the owner of a cup of Russia "Longoni", the third prize-winner of this tournament G.Apresjan (Orenburg) which has entered into the eight the best S.Shiljaev (Primorski Territory), A.Shevelev (Krasnoyarsk), and also уральцы V.Bagirov and A.Serdjuk (both is Ekaterinburg) and E.Zamaleev from Tatarstan. Events, since quarterfinals here is how developed: A.Frejze in труднейшей to struggle gets the best of A.Shevelev – 6:5. The Same account has been fixed in a meeting V.Bagirov – A.Chepikov. S.Shiljaev wins G.Apresjana – 6:4. And E.Zamaleev – A.Serdjuka – 6:3. In A.Frejze's semi-finals wins against V.Bagirova – 6:4, and S.Shiljaev "brakes" E.Zamaleeva – 6:5.

 

And here the ending. It has passed in a magnificent hall of Academy of volleyball of a name Platonova decorated with banners of sponsors of the championship and ФБС of Russia, including Factory "Start" banner. Game record was conducted by television channel "NTV Plus" that has given to a duel solemnity and special sense, and to its participants A.Frejze and S.Shiljaevu an additional portion of excitement. However excitements, at least to external signs, unperturbable and quiet Andrey Frejze did not test. Unlike the визави. Andrey has severely enough understood with Shiljaevym: from eight played parties it took six.

 

Statistics of this match – 8:0, 5:8, 8:3, 8:7, 8:4, 6:8, and 8:0. The Joint account 6:2 in favour of the Kemerovo billiard-player. A.Frejze – the champion of Russia!

 

The second place at S.Shiljaeva. For the third place V.Bagirov with the account 6:5 has won E.Zamaleeva a match. It is interesting that the new champion of Russia not very much favours «the Dynamical pyramid» – to understand game by one sphere it has begun only recently. «I persistently prepared for a cup of Russia« Longoni »and to the championship of Russia on« the Dynamical pyramid », – Andrey after rewarding has told, – and these two victories have given me the big self-trust – after all from the beginning of this year I in five tournaments did not rise above the ninth place».

 

For spectators «the Dynamical pyramid» represents certain interest, Andrey, and here many sportsmen considers name it «фуксовой». "Recently" Dynamics »began to turn out at me, I have learnt in it to play. I think that this version of a pyramid born on coast of Neva, has the future, – has summed up our conversation the new champion of Russia Andrey Frejze.

 

The female championship of Russia on «the Dynamical pyramid» too has collected solid quantity of participants – 62 from 24 regional federations of billiard sports of Many the question interested, whether the owner of a cup of Russia "Longoni" can, the master of sports of the international class of Evgenie Zheldina, being in the excellent sports form to become and the champion of Russia. Alas, both the sportswoman, and its admirers has been disappointed. As has shown tournament, matter is not in skill – Evgenie plays well, beautifully and productively. Skill at it. But here as regards psychological stability it at times has failures, hand over nerves, brings excitement. Should not, the bronze prize-winner of the World championship has no right to give the initiative to the competitor at the account 3:0 to own advantage. And after all so happens with Eugene in it четвертьфинальном a match with Natalia Trofimenko. Affinity of a victory in a match to four victories, probably so has excited E.Zheldinu that кий has ceased to obey her. As a result of Н. Трофименко not only has made even the account, but also has pulled out a victory in контровой 4:3.

 

This day has appeared sad and for other Petersburg sportswoman Evgenii Romodinoj – it, and too in a quarterfinal, has conceded to Olga Muhortovoj from Novosibirsk – 1:4. In a word, mistresses of the championship have lost last possibility to be overcome for medals. But such possibility have kept, besides N.Trofimenko and O.Muhortovoj, still E.Gorlacheva from Kaluga and the champion of Russia of this year on «the Free pyramid» E.Kazakova from Samara – they have won the четвертьфинальные matches accordingly at S.Kornjuhinoj (Voronezh) – 4:1 and N.Konobeevoj (the Moscow area) – 4:1.

 

In semi-finals of special struggle it has not turned out. Olga Muhortova without pressure has got the best of E.Gorlachevoj – 4:1, and E.Kazakova has won against N.Trofimenko – 4:2. Thus, participants of a decisive match for a title of the champion of Russia became Olga Muhortova and Ekaterina Kazakova. Olga has tried to consider errors of the previous ending on the Cup of Russia "Longoni". It However, started again uncertainly, having given to the competitor the first and second parties – 4:8 and 0:8. But here from this point on Olga's game has found purposefulness and power. Its aim laying caused time and again a hall applause. It seemed that nothing can already stop its victorious impulse. Having won successively four parties (8:5, 8:0, 8:6, 8:1) and the match as a whole – 4:2, Olga Muhortova becomes for the first time the champion of Russia. The address of the champion – Novosibirsk! A match for the third place has won E.Gorlacheva – 4:3 and has won "bronze".

 

The joyful champion excited with a victory has told after the ending that Petersburg now for it the happiest city – here it became the finalist of the Cup of Russia "Longoni" here again it has won the first gold medal of national championship. Also has still added that «the Dynamical pyramid» very much is pleasant to it, because approaches under its style of game, involves with that she puts game, itself operates spheres, that is all in this game depends on it. A final, Olga considers, became for it serious test of character. There were many excitements, but it has coped with nerves and consequently is madly happy that became the champion of the country!
