Tomorrow the Eurotour starts and I hope for a better performance than I had in the EC. I will write more about the EC and the great team I am a part off, but first the eurotour:) I start tomorrow at 13:30 against Oliwia Czuprynska (POL) and we have a field of 52 women. In the men tournament there are more than 200 so it will be long days with matches scheduled from 9 in the morning to 23:30 at night. There are a total 7 Norwegian players, Martine Christiansen and myself on the womens division and Mats Schjetne, Kristoffer Mindrebøe, Kenneth Rognstad, Thomas Fjæran and Tom Bjerke in the mens divison.

Finally I have a little time to sit down and write. I have been busy, playing 8-ball and teams and Line also played semi and final in the 10-ball. Jasmin Ouschan won her second gold and Line won silver:)

Teams has been good. Line and I started against Spain and we won 2-0. In the WQ Martine and Line played and ended 1-1 against Austria. After a superb shoot out by Norway we advanced to the semifinals and we now have a medal! Semi against Poland starts at 1800 tonight. Can’t wait! !

The 8-ball discipline is a strange one and we already have some big names out and also on the loosers side. Jasmin Ouschan and Diana Khodjaeva fought for continued play in round one loosers side and Diana won. No medal for Jasmin in 8-ball, but she still has 9-ball to go. I expect her to be on the podium. Line and Martine is now playing WQ and I  just won my match against Laura Frances (ESP) in looser round 1 and play again tomorrow morning at 0900. I played good this match, and won 6-3. No major mistakes,  just some minor hickups which I  hope to eliminate on the next match:)

Goldegg
I finally got to visit this legendary place:) I had a few hours off and a car trip was perfect. Austria is such a beautiful country and I enjoyed seeing one of the places I have heard so much about. They used to have a big pool tournament there back in the days and we visited the small hotel the Norwegians used to stay in, saw the ski slope and also got a chance to say hi to mr and mrs Zegg that owned the place until they retired. Really nice:)

Thanks for reading,  updates will come:)

Straightpool is over and sadly I did not play well enough to reach the single elimination, but it was not bad. I played ok really and lost 75-59 the last match and ended on 17th place . In 10-ball I have had two strange matches, which I  lost and I am now looking forward to a day off! No use thinking about the mistakes. I will do something positive with my day off and be happy for my team mates that are still playing. Wednesday team starts so I have plenty to look forward to:)

Oh, and Line got bronze in straightpool.  PROUD!

Onwards and upwards!
