International circle of medalists
76 players from 9 countries took part in a battle for victory in this year�s Hungaria Open in Pecs. We could see there such a talented players like the medalists of European Championship- T.Kaplan(PL), Vilmos Foeldes(HUN),R.Babica(PL),I.Putnik(CRO), M.Roter(PL) or Z.Svilar(CRO). We could also admire A.Klasovic(Serbia) D. Dobro�skiego ( ISR), B. Melkoniana (Armenia), C. Nagy (H) i G. Radulovica (Serbia) As it was the last tournament this year it decided about the general ranking list. Strong chances had 4Poles: R. Babica, T. Kaplan, H.�opotko and W. Trajdos. In this order they placed on the ranking list in previous tournaments , that took place before Hun.Open. The first one who lost the chance for victory was R.Babica, who lost and the same placed on a position no33.One step further was T.Kaplan who lost quickly, though. This way we had clear situation-either Trajdos or Lopotko would become the winner. They�re both from the same club-Trefl Sopot, moreover-the shared the hotel room during this championship. Trajdos won hands down. Till the point when the result was 5:0,Lopotko had only one opportunity to approach the table .Later on he tried to equalize the score, but it was impossible considering his weak breaks. In semi finals we had 4 players from different countries, so large group could encourage their idols.The final game was played between experienced I.Putnik and Trajdos. Putnik was favourite, Trajdos won though. The same he became winner of this year�s cycle. The prizes were given by the president of MakMarketing and the director of the cycle-Martin Krzeminski and the v-ce president of Hungarian Billiards Association �Vilmos Foldes. We would like to thank Fordan Club for hospitality and pleasant atmosphere. Hungaria Open was run by the sports director-Grzegorz Kedzierski.
