Jasmin Ouschan Aims at the Men during the Predator World 14.1 Championship
East Brunswick, NJ- Three women will be taking aim at the Predator World 14.1 Title on July 9-14,2007 at the Hilton East Brunswick NJ. One of these women is Austria's Jasmin Ouschan, currently ranked #1 women's player in Europe and quarter finalist at last year's World Straight Pool Championship. Last year Ouschan defied the odds and won a do-or-die last match in the round robin stage to qualify through the top half of the event. Her victim that match was USA's John Schmidt, highly regarded as the best straight pool player in America. She went on to finish 5th at the event.
Some say it might never happen again, while others were made believers. Schmidt had this to say: "Jasmin was no fluke last year. 14.1 knowledge is essential to being a good 9-ball player, and its obvious to me she understands the benefits of that. Her and Jeanette (Lee) are probably the two top women's straight pool players, but i probably have to credit Jasmin as being the best (woman)."

That year Ouschan was stopped by eventual champion Thorsten Hohmann of Germany. The defending World 14.1 Champion Hohmann added: "Without a doubt, Jasmin is the best women's straight pool player in the world. She plays it all year around and there are so many strong female 14.1 players in Europe, and still Jasmin has been dominant in those events. So that really proves how strong she is. No one, man or woman, should ever take her lightly."
The two other ladies in the event are Korea's Cha sisters, Yu Ram and Bo Ram. Yu Ram is the reigning World Junior 10-Ball Champion as well as being #1 ranked in Korea while her sister is currently ranked #3. Both sisters have spent 4 weeks in Germany under the tutelage of Michael Wahl, the coach of Thorsten Hohmann.
