AUSTRIA PREPARES TO WELCOME PREDATOR WPA WORLD JUNIOR CHAMPIONSHIPS PhilBoxing.com Fri, 06 Oct 2023 Klagenfurt hosts next generation of billiard talent, October 19-22 Final preparations are underway for the Predator WPA World Junior Championships, which will take place in Klagenfurt, Austria later this month as the next generation of global pool talent battle to add their names to the roll of honor of one of billiards’ most prestigious prizes. The Predator WPA World Junior Championships runs October 19-22 with three divisions; Under-19 Boys, Under-17 Boys and Girls, and previous winners of all three divisions have gone on to become the winners of multiple World Championships. In fact, you’ll be hard pressed to find a year in which the event hasn’t produced a champion who would go on to become one of the most recognized names in the sport. While this will mark the first occasion that 10-ball has been the chosen discipline, the event’s history goes back to 1992 and in that time, players including Ko Pin-Yi, Francisco Sanchez-Ruiz and Fedor Gorst have been WPA World Junior Champions in the Boys divisions. The Girls title has an equally storied history, with Kristina Tkach, Chezka Centeno and Jasmin Ouschan all having claimed the trophy since the Girls’ division was added in 2004. From former winner to host, Ouschan has won gold at the World Games and been crowned World Women’s 10-Ball Champion in the years since she won the 2005 WPA World Junior Championship, and her Jasmin Ouschan Billiard Academy is housed at Klagenfurt Sports Park, the host venue of this year’s Junior Championships. The event was staged last year in San Juan, Puerto Rico, where Estonia’s Karl Gnadeberg won the Boys Under-17 trophy. He steps up to the Under-19s division this year, although the defending champion of that division, Szymon Kural of Poland, is too old to return.  |
