52nd QubicaAMF World Cup Officially Opened
The ballroom in the Huating Hotel in Shanghai was the venue for the official opening ceremony for the 52nd QubicaAMF Bowling World Cup. And what a show it was.
The bowlers from the 83 competing countries marched in, each to a backdrop of their own flag and to applause from the packed ballroom.
Special mentions went to the two returning champions: Clara Guerrero of Colombia is the defending champion having won in 2014 and 2015, while Aumi Guerra from the Dominican Republic has also won the title twice (2010 and 2011); and to Georgia competing for the very first time being represented by Merab Akoubardia.
Official speeches followed, before Juan Cabezas, President and Chief Growth Officer of QubicaAMF, invited Mr, Wu Qi, President of the Chinese Bowling Association, to join him in banging the ceremonial drum to officially start the tournament.
Then followed a tremendous floorshow, featuring a display of Chinese drumming and agile Kung Fu dancers.
Official practice will take place on Sunday with the tournament itself starting on Monday with the first set of qualifying games.
