Ballmaster's finals

It seems that, even if my keyboard hasn't accents and the connection is not as good as it should be, I can post some news regarding the finals.

The 10 first games are over and theRound of 16 is underway. Actually only 3 games are still unresolved.

The young Dutch lady Nicole Sanderes defeated qulification leaders, Swedish Tobias Karlsson.

Kimmo Lethonen defeated Israel's Or Aviram and Dom Barrett did the same with Australia's Jason Belmonte, who couldn't (literally) put more hook on the ball, throwing his Stom over the letf gutter to board 5.

Finnish Osku Palermaa won his match agains Mads Sandbaekken and Dennis Eklund, after losing his first two games, defetated Jussu Turtianien by just on fin in the final frame.

Right now, Jari Ratia and Jouni Helminen and Robert Andersson and Pasi Uotila, fight agains each other for one place in the Round of 8.

By the way, only Sanders and Barret are not Scandinavians so we should cheer stronger for them

UPDATE

14 hours later (more mor less) Internet is back. We missed the Round of 8 and the semifinals, but this public computer is .... Anyway, Dom Barret and Pasi Uotila are bowling for the victory.

By one side, the young Finnish with two Ballmasters in his career and lokking forward to be the third player in history with 3 victories. In the other Dom Barrett, who want to become the third non-Scandinavian ever who wins in Tali.

We are, of course, supporting Barret, who is bowling unbeliavable well. He defeated Belmonte, Palermaa and a "dirty" Lethonen on the semifinals.

FINAL UPDATE

Great. We must recongnize that Pasi's performance has been amazing great. He nedeed 3 strikes in a row in the last frame after missing a easy 6-10 spare in the 9th. Barret had the chance to shoot him but couldn't put a double so all the eyers were on Pasi.

He was alone, needing 3 strikes for his third Ballmaster. All this big bowling center where only the voice of 200 passionate Finnish did break the silence after strikes.

He shoot the first one. Strike. He was calm.

Como vemos, salvo Sanders y Barrett son todo suecos y finlandeses asi que tendremos que animar a estos dos a ver si vuelve a ganar el torneo, por segunda vez en la historia, un jugador/a no escandinavo!

Second. Strike, not even a face's muscle moved.

The third one, Strike, Victory, one more Ballmaster and the only movement, the only human act was putting up his arms. He is not human, but what a tournament for him. And what achivement. Ole.
