Billiards: six Dragons in action in Turkey | OneFootball

FC Porto will have six representatives at the Three-Cushion Billiards World Cup, which is being held in Turkey and runs 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 earned 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 was unable to get past France’s Pierre Soumagne (40-35) or Belgium’s Roland Forthomme (40-25).

The competition on Turkish soil serves as a curtain-raiser for the stage to be played in Porto, which begins on July 12.
