Amit had an amazing year, winning the 2009 Women?s World Ten Ball Billiards Championship by beating Shin-mei Liu of Chinese-Taipei last June in Quezon City.
She then teamed up with Efren Reyes to win the World Mixed Doubles Ten Ball Classic by beating Charlie Williams and Eun Ji Park of Team Korea also on home soil.
Her winning streak continued during the 2009 Laos South East Asian Games where she won gold medals in the 8 and 9 ball singles competition.
We look forward to her winning more medals for the country in this year?s Asian Games.
