Jouni Tähti defeats Aaron Aragon in Reno final
After four days of battle, Finland's Jouni Tähti has conquered all, with an impressive display of skill and consistency at The Peppermill Resort Spa and Casino in Reno.
The super Finn's performance throughout the event was a study of a player in the zone, as match after match his opponents fell to his unstoppable potting skills, superb position play, and composed temperament - not once did he look under pressure, even in the final against the USA's finest wheelchair player, the experienced Aaron Aragon.
This isn't the first time Tähti has held the World title. In 2002 he collected his first WPA World Championship Trophy, an event which, coincidentally was also held on US soil, in Decator, Alabama.
A good complement of European wheelchair players made the trip to the desert venue, including Brits Tony Southern, Danny Luton, Roy Kimberley, Matt Duffy and Craig Welsh. Aslam Abubaker was also going to represent the UK but received some sad news concerning the death of an uncle before the event and had to cancel at the last minute, we send our condolences to Aslam and his family.
