DYNAMIC BILLIARD EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIPS 2023

THE 8 BALL division at the 2023 Dynamic Billard European Championships
played out this evening and there were gold medals for Germany (two),
Finland and Norway. The Tampere Exhibition and Sports Centre was filled
with a sizeable crowd and the atmosphere added to some of the drama on
the tables.
Wheelchair star Jouni Tahti delivered the goods for his sizeable number
of supporters with a win over old adversary Henrik Larsson, while 18
year-old Dennis Laszkowski demonstrated the sheer strength of European
junior pool by coming through a tough men’s field. Tina Vogelmann
secured her second gold of the Championships while Emil-Andre Gangflot
produced an astonishing comeback to claim the Under 23 crown.
The men’s final was a classic battle of youth versus experience as 18
year-old Dennis Laszkowski went up against the 38 year-old Pole Mateusz
Sniegocki (Poland). The young German won the lag, elected solids and
comfortably worked his way through the table to take the opener.
Sniegocki, with a gold and a silver to his name from previous European
Championships, levelled things up in the second game. A dry break from
Laszkowski got the Polish veteran back to the table but a missed slow
roll on the 9 ball, ended his visit. There were some positional shots
involved, but Laszkowski cleared the solids to regain the lead at 2-1.
Laszkowski quickly got back to the table and looked set but he snatched
at the 1 ball which saw it miss to give his Sniegocki the opportunity.
The problem ball was the orange stripe which was only available to the
left centre pocket. He managed to nudge a couple of stripes free and
despite never really having full control of the white, he finished the
rack off very nicely for 2-2.

"Read More..." for the details.
A run out from the break restored Laszkowski’s lead, but Sniegocki
levelled things up with a similar runout in the sixth game. The German
lad once again got his nose in front as he cleared the solids from the
break in what was a close-fought match.
A shocking miss from Sniegocki on the brown 15 saw Laszkowski return to
the table with a superb chance of opening up a two-rack lead. Showing a
clear head, he confidently worked his way through the table for a 5-3
lead.
Fortunately for Sniegocki, he got back to the table and despite seeming
to struggle, he had enough to keep his hopes alive as he ran the table
for 5-4. A lovely bank shot at an awkward angle got Sniegocki on his way
in the tenth rack. He battled positional woes throughout the rack but
was good enough to level the match at 5-5.
A good break from Dennis saw three balls downed and he selected stripes.
There were no problems ahead as the German youngster moved into a 6-5
lead. Then an unfortunate dry break from Sniegocki gave Laszkowski the
chance to reach the hill but it wasn't an easy table. He made it plain
sailing though as he ran out for a 7-5 lead.
Breaking for the match, Laszkowski retained the table with a firm
opening shot. Electing solids, there didn't seem to be any obvious
problems ahead of him. And so it proved as 18 year-old Dennis Laszkowski
ran out to claim the 8 ball gold medal.
An emotional Laszkowski struggled to let his achievement sink in; “It
feels unreal to be honest. I’m just very happy that I played that well
and that the result also came. I want to play as good as I played here
in the 9 ball and then we’ll see what happens.”
Medals – Men
Gold – Dennis Laszkowski (GER)
Silver – Mateusz Sniegocki (POL)
Bronze – Ragnar Gronsten (SWE)
Bronze – Wojciech Szewczyk (POL)
Tina Vogelmann (Germany) claimed her second gold medal of the 2023
European Championships as she beat Poland’s Oliwia Zalewska by 6-4 in
the Ladies 8 Ball division. In the first discipline of the
Championships, Vogelmann had claimed Straight Pool gold after narrowly
defeating Eyllul Kibaroglu and this time she led all the way to defeat
Zalewska.
The German lady had run undefeated through the competition and with just
the 9 ball remaining for individual medals, she has the opportunity to
achieve a historic hat-trick of golds.
Commented Vogelmann, “I don’t know what’s happening here! When I come to
the European Championships, I’d be happy to win just a bronze or silver
medal but two golds are really amazing. I felt so good in the final and
was happy that we both shot good and played good pool.
“Oliwia and I have both played many Euro Tours so we know each other
very well and I know she’s strong but, in the quarter-finals and
semi-finals you don’t get easy opponents so you always have to play your
best game and try to be better than your opponent. I know I can lose the
same as I can win so I really just try to have fun,” she added.
Medals – Ladies
Gold – Tina Vogelmann (GER)
Silver – Oliwia Zalewska (POL)
Bronze – Eyllul Kibaroglu (TUR)
Bronze – Pia Filler (GER)
With plenty of support in a very busy arena, wheelchair legend Jouni
Tahti claimed Finland’s second gold medal of the Championships as he
defeated arch rival, Henrik Larsson by 5-2. It’s fair to say that both
men have totally dominated European Championship wheelchair pool since
the division got underway in 1999 and it was a sweet win for Tahti in
his homeland.
It was made all the sweeter as Tahti had been bounced into the one-loss
side by Larsson in the winners’ qualification. He battled back though,
with wins over Fabio Del Zoppo (ITA) and Emil Malanowski to set up the
championship match against his old nemesis Larsson. It was to be Tahti’s
30th European Championship gold medal – an incredible feat.
Tahti said, “It was very hard work to win this 30th gold medal of my
career as it’s always tough against Henrik. We have a lot of respect for
each other, we know each other’s games very well and it’s always a tough
one when we meet. I’m going to give it my all for the 9 ball and try and
get another gold medal.”
Medals – Wheelchair
Gold – Jouni Tahti (FIN)
Silver – Henrik Larsson (SWE)
Bronze – Emil Malanowski (POL)
Bronze – Matej Brajkovic (SLO)
Emil-Andre Gangflot of Norway, produced a sensational come-back to
defeat Germany’s Yuma Dorner 8-7 and claim the gold medal in the Under
23 division. The Norwegian had trailed throughout and looked dead and
buried at 4-1 and then 5-2 down but somehow managed to claw it back,
rack-by-rack. With the match poised at hill-hill, Dorner failed to
pocket a ball from the final break shot of the match to hand the table
to his opponent. Under immense pressure, Gangflot navigated the table
before spearing home a long 8 ball for the win.
In fact, it was a successful defence of the title for Gangflot, having
won the same Under 23 8 ball gold medal in Lasko, Slovenia last year.
Commented Gangflot, “It’s amazing, I can’t believe it. After that final,
it’s just an incredible feeling. It was a tough rack at the end and I
was just focusing and hoping I could do it. I wasn’t thinking much about
Yuma when he was leading but I didn’t really feel good in the beginning
and made mistakes so I just had to refocus and take every opportunity.”
Medals – Under 23
Gold – Emil-Andre Gangflot (NOR)
Silver – Yuma Dorner (GER)
Bronze – Luca Montanari (ITA)
Bronze – Albert-Roman Stensrod (NOR)
Play continues to tomorrow with the 9-ball division which concludes in
