Billiards: six Dragons in action in Turkey | OneFootball

FC Porto will have six representatives at the Three-Cushion Billiards World Cup, taking place in Turkey and running until Sunday in Ankara.

Despite the defeat to Choi Wan Young (40-31), Torbjörn Blomdahl secured a place in the main draw thanks to his victory over Gerhart Kontistanski (40-11), a result that gave him the best average in the qualifiers (2.151). The Swede thus joined Ruben Legazpi, Peter Ceulemans and Dick Jaspers in the decisive stage of the tournament.

José Miguel Soares and Rui Manuel Costa were eliminated in the qualifying stage. The former beat South Korea’s Kwon Miru (35-17), but was then defeated by Egypt’s Ayman Mahmoud (35-15), while the latter failed to get past France’s Pierre Soumagne (40-35) and Belgium’s Roland Forthomme (40-25).

The competition on Turkish soil serves as a warm-up for the Porto leg, which begins on July 12.
