Итоги-2007 (№6 (18) from January, 20th, 2009)

 Summing up year, we have set to people, it is possible to consider whose opinion rather authoritative, following questions:

1. How you estimate development of the Russian billiards in the left year?

2. What event consider as event of year?

3. It is possible to name what Russian sportsman the sportsman of year? 

Vladimir Nikif оров, the First vice-president МПК, the First vice-president ФБСР:

1. How it is possible to estimate year, if at our young men and girls — gold medals of superiority of Europe? If on superiority of Europe on a pool gold medals both in personal, and in command offset too at Russians? If Konstantin Stepanov headed some weeks the European rating? If Anna Mazhirina participated for the first time in the World championship on снукеру and has taken the ninth place? If Jura Pashchinsky constantly enters into a three of leaders? If at us on superiority participates on 150 persons? Any state cannot be compared to us in respect of mass character. We spend so much various actions among men, women, young men, girls, veterans! Naturally, it is the best indicators for all years of existence of billiard sports.

2. The main event is a carrying out top-level in St.-Petersburg two World championships on «the Dynamical pyramid» and on artistic billiards. The world confederation of billiard sports has given the appreciation to how have taken place these tournaments. Not casually to us the world association of a pool with the offer on carrying out in Russia of the World championship has already addressed.

3. Naturally, it is Jury Pashchinsky. Everywhere it in prize-winners, plus it conducts the big public work on propagation of billiard sports. 

Alexander Puhlenk about, the head of a direction pool ФБСР:

1. The last year for the Russian billiards I estimate on the four because on the five never happens, all always can be made better. Rather quite good successes at us: the third place on "Dynamical", the second – on "Free", young men are tightened, for example Andrey Frejze, Pasha Kuzmin. There is an alternation of generations, therefore all is normal. Пулисты too at us the good fellows, two times champions of Europe, especially please Roman Pruchaj and the Novel Chinahov. Konstantin Stepanovu should give due as it strongly lifts authority of Russia at the international level. And now and снукер it is tightened, it has started to develop actively at us. In a year-two-three, I think, any results at us already will be and in this game.

2. For me as founder of "the Dynamical pyramid» it is the first World championship on this game as, first, it has been spent at the highest organizational level, and secondly, he has put the official beginning of a series of the World championships.

3. I, of course, would name the sportsman of year Jury Pashchinskogo as it very well protects the titles. It does not manage a champion's title to reach, but three years to keep in a three of prize-winners in the World championships is expensive costs.

Alexander Kokunin, the chairman of the All-Russia board of judges:

1. From the point of view of federation FBSR we have done the utmost for billiards advancement as mass kind of sports. We advance billiards, and not only we, but also leading sportsmen Jury Pashchinsky, Anna Mazhirina. I consider that for today billiards is at an intermediate stage of development, and till 2015 it will be at this stage. At us new tournaments are outlined, for example, in St.-Petersburg with Factory "Start" support will pass meetings of eight best billiard-players and eight best billiard-players, besides, in Western Siberia now there is a work on the organisation of large tournament which will be called, most likely, as the Cup of Russia.

2. I think that carrying out in Novosibirsk of the championship of Russia on triathlon. I explain: all requirements which were shown by federation, have been sustained on 100 %. Work with such partner as "Start", at such large competition for me personally became event of year.

3. The sportsman of year, in my opinion, Jury Pashchinsky. And the sportswoman of year – Anna Mazhirina. Transition in снукер with such success it is very worthy.

Jury Pashchinski й, the deserved master of sports, the world champion:

1. I consider, this year, as well as two previous, there was a present billiard boom on our post-Soviet territory. Billiard clubs and the centres have opened many, there were many perspective young children - of sportsmen, the considerable quantity of the most different tournaments in the most different cities is spent, it speaks about extreme popularity of mine lju - бимого sports kind. Important and that to two-three thousand dollars have increased prize-winning which are paid for victories. It speaks about work ФБСР which only 15 years old, over that players could provide to themselves a good standard of living, being engaged in this kind of sports. I would like to thank with all my heart now those who, without being sorry for forces and without paying attention to envious persons and ill-wishers have made of semibasement, semicriminal game the present kind of sports, without speculators, a floor-mat, криминала and drugs.

2. I should mention and not note the World championship on «the Dynamical pyramid» in St.-Petersburg. The excellent organisation and a powerful prize fund have brought the big contribution to billiards development. And personally for me tournament on снукеру in Ireland became event of year. My hit in 32 strongest on the European championship became the big success and a quite good springboard in the future.

3. In my opinion, in Russia it is possible to name the sportsman of year of Andrey Frejze. He has won two championships of Russia, was the prize-winner at many commercial competitions. And simply Andrey – the pleasant person, and it is good that in a command of Russia there was such trump

Andrey Koni щев, the general director of Factory "Start":

1. Billiards develops. Now it especially intensively began to develop in regions where at high level has taken place many tournaments. Level of the Siberian billiards began to grow, and to grow so quickly that sportsmen from Siberia start to dominate and there is a second centre of Russian billiards: Kemerovo, Barnaul. Billiards becomes total. The federation of Russia a way - ствует to it, gives tournaments for carrying out to different cities, for example, in Novosibirsk at the highest level has passed the championship of Russia. Plus still is to be noticed that we had a new leader of the Russian pool – Konstantin Stepanov.

2. Let it is immodest, but for me it is the championship of Russia in Novosibirsk. All of us have given forces to preparation, and at all of us it has turned out at very high level.

3. Unequivocally, the sportsman of year – Jury Pashchinsky. Billiards is sports in which the role of a case, good luck is great. In billiards it is impossible to be all time the first, because there will of a case big. And Jura, contrary to these theories, shows very stable results that speaks about the highest class of this player.

Konstantin Krjukov, the senior trainer of a Russian national team:

1. I consider that year for Russian billiards has passed exactly enough. I would not tell that there were any breaks, special achievements, but everything is executed that planned in plans, and is executed with quite good results. Pleases that in Russia began to develop actively a pool and снукер.

2. For me event of year – team championship of Russia which has passed for the first time in Samara, and has passed at very high level. It is good that one more city of Russia could see live sports billiards that, undoubtedly, will serve still большей to popularisation of this kind of sports.

3. I would prefer Jure Pashchinsky. "Silver" in the World championship, quite good results in снукере – its achievements deserve the big respect.

George Mitasov, the deserved trainer, the head coach of a Russian national team:

1. My opinion, it there was very successful year for Russian billiards. I watch closely our children, and I can tell that we about seventy players of good level, and after all have also strong середнячки, and beginning talented sportsmen. Now billiards in Russia keeps not on 3–4 sportsmen who something somewhere win, and on tens and hundreds players, at which very good prospects.

2. Certainly, event of year is when our, Russian sportsman occupies prize-winning places on large international tournament. For me it is "silver" of my pupil Jury Pashchinskogo in the World championship on «the Free pyramid».

3. I do not wish to name someone one. I will name three our stars, worthy ranks of the best sportsman, three world champions: Юра Pashchinsky, Anechka Mazhirina, Pasha Mehovov.
