Most successful trip for Indian cueists

 

 

 


 

In one of the most successful or probably the successful trip for Indian cueists remained this 2015 IBSF World Billiards Championships at Adelaide from where the contingent is returning home with 12 medals in bag.

The Championships started in Adelaide on 20th September having four formats, the 150-Up, Timed, Women and Junior Boys.

The young boys did excellent by making a clean sweep as all four, S. Shrikrishna, Ishpreet Chadha, Kaavya Bharath and Jagadesh B. reached in the semi finals and Shrikrishna won the title defeating Ishpreet Chadha.

In women's category, Arantxa Sanchis won the championship defeating R. Umadevi and Meenal Thakur remained the bronze medalist.

The men championship in 150-Up had a bit disappointment where India's ace cueist Pankaj Advani couldn't defend his title and settled for silver but in timed format Advani defeated Peter Gilchrist to defend the title by a huge victory margin and joint bronze shared by Rupesh Shah and Siddharth Parikh. Sourav Kothari remained bronze medalist in 150 Up format.

The team India leaving from Adelaide tomorrow morning with the laurels to our country.
