08-17.04.2017 – Tali Bowl
Helsinki – Finland
Somijas pilsētā Helsinki startē 30-ais Eiropas Čempionāts Jauniešiem. Latviju pārstāv tikai viens spēlētājs – Artemijs Hudjakovs.
Uz Helsinkiem kopā ar Artemiju ir devies arī viņa treneris – pazīstams Ukrainas speciālists Genādijs Sidorenko. Treneris un viņa padotais ir paveikuši lielu darbu un spriežot pēc visa ir labi sagatavojušies šim čempionātam. Atgādināsim, ka 16 gadus jaunais Artemijs nacionālajā reitingā ieņem 2 vietu un pēdējā gada laikā rāda stabilu spēli. Neskatoties uz to, ka mūsu valsti pārstāvēs tikai viens sportists, mums ir pamatotas cerības uz labu rezultātu.
Vēlam Artemijam un Genādijam labus rezultātus un turam īkšķus par savējiem!!!

Artemija Hudjakova rezultāti čempionātā: 52 vieta no 94 dalībniekiem.
В Хельсинки стартует 30-й Молодёжный Чемпионат Европы.
Латвию на этом чемпионате представляет всего один игрок – Артемий Худяков.
В качестве тренера Артемия сопровождает известный специалист из Украины – Геннадий Сидоренко.
Тренер и его воспитаник проделали большую работу и, судя по всему, не плохо готовы. Напомним, что 16-летний Артемий идёт на 2-м месте в национальном рейтинге и на протяжении последнего года показывает стабильно высокие результаты. Поэтому, не смотря на столь скромное представительство на Чемпионате, мы вправе рассчитывать на хороший результат, первые за последние 4 года.
Желаем Артемию и Геннадию хорошей игры и болеем за наших!!!

Exciting finish in girls all event.
The audience in Tali saw very exciting finish in girls singles qualification and all event. Before the last game it was only sure, that Maria Koshel will be the all event’s champion and in the singles final, all the rest was open. Anna Petakova from Czech Republic shot five strikes in a row from the fifth frame in the last game and took the second place in singles qualification. Megan G. Dicay, who played in the morning squad was number three and Lorna Scott from England fourth. Finland’s Essi Pakarinen was on her way to semi final still in seventh frame, but the she made an open frame and missed pins 2/4 in the last and was left out with 11 pins.
I knew that I can bowl well, but I did not know that I can bowl this well and take the all event gold medal”, Maria Koshel said. “This is the first all event gold to Russia and I can not find words to express, how happy and pround I am. I hope that Russian girls will develop for the next year, so we can do the same as Finland this year. Take all medals in all event”, she smiled.
In all event Maria Koshel played 3788 (210,4) in 18 games and took gold medal. Swedish girls Hanna Engberg and Mathilde Tidbeck hunted silver and bronze until the last game. Hanna finished with 166 and missed the bronze medal with five pins, Mathilde with 173 and missed the medal with 14 pins. So the silver medallist is Elice Piksilä from Finland and bronze medallist Denise Blankenzee from Holland.

Finland took everything in boys all event.
EYC 2017 boys all events finished to Finnish celebration. Niko Oksanen took the gold medal with a new Championships record 4187. Jesse Ahokas is the silver medallist, 213 pins pins behind Niko, so there was no questions in Tali, who is the best boy in the center. In the last single squad there were couple of boys fighting for the bronze.
Emanuel Jonsson from Sweden hunted Finnish Pyry Puharinen, and both of them hunted the result of Ronan van der Loo from the Netherlands. In the last game Emanuel made an open in the second frame and was not able to strike out. He finished with a 210 game, which was not enough for the all event medal, but enough for the single’s semi finals. Pyry made 247 in the fifth game and then 245 in the last and took the bronze medal with 23 pins difference to Ronan. “This is unbelievable, amazing feeling”, 14-years old Pyry said. “Big thanks to my personal coach Sami Heinilä, who quided me to the right line in two last games”, Pyry told. “It is great and more great to get all medals in all event here in Tali, in our home country”, Jesse Ahokas said.
To Niko this is the last event in youth, so he was very pleased for the gold, second one in a row while he won all event also last year in Reykjavik. “This gold was my primary target here in Tali, because it is the most valuable medal”, Niko said. “I have now got medal in each event here and in masters we will go for the gold. We have lost so many stepladders here, I am getting tired to it”, Niko smiled.
In the singles qualification Ziga Zalar, Slovenia, was on top with score 1438. Sidney Schroschk from Germany was best in the second squad and took the second place. Niko Oksanen and Emanuel Jonsson had a tie with score 1384. Emanuel won the roll off 40-25 and will meet Sidney in the semi final. Niko will play against Zalar.

Megan G. Dicay from Denmark have won the gold in singles event.
Danish Megan G. Dicay was in good shape in girls first single squad. Before today her best six games result was 1139, now she bowled 1226 and will have an exciting afternoon, while waiting if this is enough for the singles semi final. “This was my best six games here in Helsinki. Now I played more out and hooked more, before I had more tight and straight line”, Megan said. “I hope that this is enough for the medal games. Now I am very nervous and excited”, Megan finished. Shinya Haest from Belgium, 1205, was second in the squad followed by Elice Piksilä Finland, 1199, and Jolien Thys Belgium, 1192.
There will be strong players in the second squad. Elice Piksilä is now leading the All Event, but two best players after 12 games, Maria Koshel, Russia, and Hanna Engberg, Sweden, are coming to play in the last qualification squad in EYC 2017. To beat Elice Maria needs to score 1091 and Hanna 1132. The two more players who can drop Elice out from the medals in All Event, are Mathilda Tidbeck from Sweden and Sofia Hultstedt from Norway. Both of them need to score 1214 for to reach Elice’s total.

England girls are the team champions.
In girls semi final looked like Sweden is beating England easily, but in the last frame they threw it away with some opens. England said thank you and won 755-723. The match between Finland and the Netherlands was also tight. In the last frame Finland was stroger and marched in to the final with scores 756-729.
Girls final was a thriller. England had in half way the lead with 50 pins, but Finland came back to the game in 8-9 frames. England’s last player, Mia Bewley, had the keys in her hands, but she finished with an open frame. Then Teea Mäkelä had a chage to become a hero, but after a spare she took only eight pins and there was a tie 750-750. Breaking the tie all four players made one shot and the total was counted. First round ended in tie 38-38, but England won the second 38-34 and took the gold medals. In the gold medal team were playing Isabelle Allen, Lorna Scott, Mia Bewley and Natasja Ailes.
We heard also sad news from team England. Two players, Ki Leighfield and Matthew Terry, are expelled from team England and they will bowl no more.
Tomorrow in Tali we will have boys single, and on Saturday girls single.

Belgium is the girls gold medallist in doubles.
Belgian girls Jolien Thys and Shinya Haest beat Sweden in the semi final 388-349 and Norway in the final 404-345. The semi final was tight until the tenth frame, but the result of the final was more or less ready in eighth frame. In their own semi-final Norway won the qualification winner Russia with one pin, 389-388.
17-years old Jolien and 16-years old Shinya did not believe that they won, eventhough there were big smiles on their faces. “I feel, I am still dreaming”, Shinya said. “I had hard time in the official practise and did not feel comfortable at all. Today I was pretty calm and also my spares were good”. Shinya is looking very calm when she plays and she confirms that herself. “I’m normally never nervous, I get stressed only when I really feel like I am in a small corner”, she said.
In the picture left the coach Melissa Vallons, Jolien Thys and Shinya Haest.

Ukraine took the gold
European Youth Championships first medal matches were really exciting and tight. Ukraine beat Finland in the semifinal 412-402. The anchorman Mykola Sielin hit the last strikes in the 10th frame, when the opponent gave the chance. In the other semifinal the Netherlands won France quite clearly 436-399.
The victory of the final was already almost in the Netherlands pocket, while they were 26 pins ahead in the 7th frame. In the last frame the second boy from the Netherlands, Ronan van der Loo could have closed the door with a strike or a spare. But he missed the seven pin and gave the keys to Mykola. He said thanks, and hit two strikes and Ukraine won 410-406. The other gold medallist is Oleksandr Nechypaiev.
“It was really exciting, the whole day”, Ukraine boys said. “I just tried to clean my head and concentrate to each shot. It was more difficult before, than in the last frames”, Mykola said about crucial moment”.
“Feels good. All the work, that we have done at home, got now the payment”, Mykola smiled.
