And now for the top 24 men
It is now really tight at the top of the men’s leader board in the 49th QubicaAMF Bowling World Cup in Krasnoyarsk.
Peter Hellström from Sweden, our leader over the first three days, found the going harder in the final block of six games, hitting 1313, while Belgium’s Mats Maggi hit 1502 and pulled up into second place, just 31 pins behind Peter. Russia’s Alexei Parshukov had another fine set and is in third. Apart from Mats’ 1500+, 13 other players hit over 1400.
Mats also bowled the only 300 by a man today, in the very first game of the final set.
The cut for the top 24 was made at 5465, an average of 222.71, with William Ching of Venezuela going through and Sami Lampo from Finland missing out. The overall average for all the men was 214.46.
The top 24 will bowl a further eight games tomorrow to determine the top eight who will go through to the round robin on Saturday morning.
Performing as well as you can in a major competition is the goal of most, if not all, athletes and some of our bowlers have done exactly that. Sergey Popov of Tajikistan smashed his personal best with a six game set of 1457. Kris Rive of Jersey who set her personal best for six games earlier this week followed it up with a new PB for one game of 218. Not to be outdone by his sister, Robbie Rive, set his own PB for 3 games with 705, and for six games with 1249, while Mongolia’s Ulziikhorol Khalzan also hit her PB for six games with 1141.
The on line audience for live streaming peaked at nearly 950 this evening. Lucas Wiseman, who is running the live streaming for Bowl TV on behalf of QubicaAMF, was delighted: “I am really enjoying doing this. I get to see some great bowling and it’s so cool knowing that people all over the world are watching.” To access on line streaming, go to www.qubicaamf.com and follow the tab to the Bowling World Cup 2013.
