The European championship on a pool among young men: all in an adult way! (№5 (17) from November, 15th, 2007)

If to walk under the statistical data, it is necessary to allocate some moments. First of all, this number of participants: in the championship was present over 180 players. And the quantity of the presented countries impressed – in total 25, from Britain to Belarus.

For Russians the present European championship became rather successful. The delegation was noted by the "gold" won by Romanom Pruchaem in children's individual offset on "Nine", and also the complete set of awards of similar advantage in children's command superiority. Besides it same Pruchaj took "silver" on "Eight", and its companion and the hero of the last year's youthful championship in Kiev Ruslan Chinahov – "bronze" on children's "Nine". Thus, the hymn of the Russian Federation sounded at rewarding ceremony repeatedly. And by quantity of awards Russia has appeared on the third place – after Austria with Germany.

In the championship there was a set of dramas. Girls, progames - вая the meetings cried. And is the loudest – German Kim Kristin Vittsel in the ending on "Eight" when, having made unsuccessful blow, has decided destiny of a duel and has lost Rachel Meyer from Luxembourg. The heart-broken sportswoman has simply laid down on a floor and sobbed, it five could not lift minutes. Itself pobe - дительница, apparently, was in a shock – and from victory which have suddenly fallen down a head, and from behaviour of the competitor. At ceremony of rewarding of Vittsel has appeared with tears in the face of and so has staid all time while the official part has not come to an end. But on that the history has not ended – in the ending on "Nine" the same sportswoman again struggled for a palm, already with Austrian Sabrinoj Navershnig. The scenario has repeated, the German has lost, and someone from spectators has inadvertently dropped: «Well here, now again will begin!» . However this time Vittsel behaved much more frostily and plaka - ла is much more silent. Receiving the silver medal, it has almost coped with melancholy and even has squeezed out a certain similarity of a smile. For the sake of completeness of a picture I will add that Navershnig became the champion and in «to Strejt to a bullet» so for it the championship left very successful.

But the main drama has happened under an outset of competitions. A rising star of the British pool Thomas Ejnsvort-Smit while - зывал such results that caught at a head all without isklju - чения. It cost nothing to it to make successively five-six parties from robbery – and it under force to the rare adult. So he shone both in a quarter - and in a semi-final on youthful "Nine". It seemed, the destiny of a champion's title here has been solved, as in a finishing duel somebody Shtefan Noll has appeared its opponent: though also the German, but it is certain not the favourite. Ejnsvort-Smit operated in the same way – played excellent, exhaled confidence and charisma. But something somewhere has got bad … and, is imperceptible for itself, it has conceded in «контре». After the such would be short to run into grief and depression. But a sentimentality Thomas could not allow itself: at once upon termination of matches of individual superiority of British command games in which high hopes were assigned to the sportsman expected. The semi-final has brought a victory over Ukrainians, and the finishing circle of duels with the Austrians further has followed. According to genre laws, the meeting on "Nine" was won by the British, and a meeting on "Eight" – the representative of a command of Austria. The cumulative account, thus, has made 1:1, and all last duel on «solved Strejt to a pool» with participation of Ejnsvort-Smita and Albina Oushana. Game has entered in контровую hundred - дию, and … the recent history has repeated. The British has lost with the boundary account 90:100, and Oushan has once again proved that he is a king of "Strejt of a pool» among young men. By the way, several days earlier it has overcome «the owner of the championship» with Niko Venus in individual superiority of the same discipline.

As the championship was spent to Germany, it would be logical to assume that a great bulk of awards takes Germans. However it does not happen. At least, in that, as to "gold", the biggest percent of champions has had on sportsmen from Austria. The head coach of a command Jorgen Sendman which were personally watching a course of each of matches and everywhere accompanying pupils, looked quite happy, receiving in the end of the championship a command cup. But, it is necessary to give due to Germans, they were the most amicable national team. They even had a war-call which anybody "from the outside" could not disassemble. Already on termination of competitions I have asked at тимлидера that they all the same shouted. On hearing it sounded as «Pool Runners», but he has explained that it not that other, as «Cool Runners». The pier, a call have borrowed from a well-known film about a national team of Jamaica on bobsled. It should encourage sportsmen, reminding them that there is nothing impossible and they can subdue any top. Very wisely, it is necessary to tell.

To the results mentioned above it is necessary to add also that German Niko of Venus became the winner in discipline "Eight" among young men, at children - «восьмерочников» Stephen Lammens from Belgium was strongest, and the champion's title in children's «to Strejt to a bullet» has got to one more German Manuelju Edereru.

And last important point: on November, 27-30th the arena виллингенской hotels «Sauerland Stern» will accept one more youthful championship, this time universal scale. He promises to be not less dynamical and grasping.
