Yesterday was a long day… I lost my first match 7-6, then won my second 7-5. My last match yesterday started at 23 ( that would be at midnight back home in Norway ) and I could not find a rhytm. You get so tired you don’t stand still anymore and my opponent,  Claudia Von Rohr (Sui) just played better than me. I lost 7-4 and ended on a 25th place. 

Today I am going to watch Martine and my other friends play before a closing dinner tonight. Heading back home tomorrow:)

Onwards and upwards! 

Thanks for reading 🙂

I arrived safely in Braga, but unfortunately my luggage did not. Surprise surprise. They say it will come in the morning,  fingers crossed!

So I  begin this tournament with Martines cue, at least I have good friends 🙂 Alison Chang is also here, we are going to have a blast! 

My first match is against Teresa Goncalves (Por) at 20:00

Wish me luck and thanks for reading!

I reclaimed my title! The final was not the best, I played both good and bad, but I won it 6-3 and did the job. Overall I have done really good in the women’s division winning all my matches and 30 games won / 6 games lost.

I also did well in the Open division with the 17th place out of 74. I really can’t complain, I have had a good weekend 🙂

Congratulations to all medalists in both divisions! 

Thank you for supporting me, I really appreciate it. And thank you guys in my hotel for two superb evenings:)

I am sorry that Oslo Biljardsenter has to move, but I am sure you will find a new place and keep on having well organised tournaments. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication 🙂

And thank you Obcues.com and Kamuibrands.com for the best equipment and accessories!

Next weekend is Eurotour in Portugal. I can’t wait!

The day went ok. I played I well on and off, and I was able to keep my focus most of the time. I lost the WQ in the Open division, went on to win my last round robin match in the women’s division 6-0 and then played the LQ back to back. The LQ was a strange match. My opponent Jostein Jullum (sports director in norwegian federation) made some mistakes in the beginning and never got his game rolling. The table was a bit slower than the other tables and we both struggled with position. I was able to hold it together and won 8-0, but the score is not really fair. 

In the last 32 I met Didrik Vatne and struggled a little with my shoulder. That caused some really bad mistakes on the beginning, missing two 10-balls and I was soon trailing 1-5. I was then able to pull myself together and the game went to hill – hill, but I lost 8-7 in the end. I had a good chance on 7-6 up but I got a bad kick on the 7. Ohwell, it wasn’t ment to be. 

At 13 today I am on again, this time it’s the semifinals in the women’s division. I play against Christel Hanah Johnsen  (Oslo bk). 

Wish me luck and thanks for reading

I played three matches yesterday and won all three:) my game overall was solid, I had  few lapses due to veing tired, but after a long day that must be expected. 

I played two round robin matches in the women’s division and won comfortably 6-0 and 6-2. I have one more match today, but the semifinals is already secured. 
In the open division I was seedet with a bye in the first round and played one match to get to the WQ. I was down 3-0 and 4-1 before I collected myself and won 8-5. Important win as it opened some room between the matches today. 

At 12 the WQ is coming up. I play against Pål Daud Fillipsveen (Oslo bk), a fellow elite player.
