After two good matches I am in the top 16 from the winners side:) I started the day playing against Silje Helene Munk (DEN) and won 7-0. My next opponent was Jasmin Michel (GER) and that match I won 7-3. I have played really well today and hope to do the same tomorrow. I play again at 10 against Agatha Sokolowska (POL)
Time for bed:)

Swedish 10-ball open, Eurotour no 4
July 11, 2013
In Stockholm getting ready for eurotour no 4 this year, the Swedish 10-ball open. The tournament is played in Jolo & Co, one of the best poolhalls in Europe:) There are both mens and womens dovosion and the womens division is also a eurotour.
I play tomorrow morning at 10 against a young girls from Denmark, Silje Helene Munk.
We are three participants from our club, Fredrik Førde and Jone Ree Skjelbred is playing today in the mens division. Also, we are four women from Norway in the womens division, Martine Christiansen, June Therese Håndstad and Mikayla Kibsgaard.

A good weekend:)
June 3, 2013
This has been a good weekend:) First the appearance on the OB cues pro list on friday and then winning the ranking tournament (mixed class) undefeated. I am now ranked no 2 in my region, only 20 points behind the leader with one less tournament played (I got 250 points for my win)
Hope the luck will last a little longer, I am hoping my 7th place in the European ranking will be enough for a spot in the WC 9-ball i China. There are not many spots and way to many serious players in Europe for the moment:) Good for Europe, I think we are moving in the right direction when it comes to women playing pool. We are currently 150 players that have participated in the Eurotour.
Anyway, updates will come whether or not I get a spot. My next tournament is the Swedish 10-ball Open in Stockholm in July. Loooking forward to that, it is a great tournament with both a womens and a mens divison, played in one of the best poolhalls in Europe:) Information HERE
Now I am going to enjoy the sun mixed with some work.

25th in the ET, but back in top 8 overall:)
May 26, 2013
You know, sometimes the balls just won’t roll your way and this was one of those tournaments. I was not seeded for this tournament and I got really punished for that. I met Ana Gradisnik (SLO) in the first round at 0900 and never got my game going. Next match I played 63 year old Sonja Mayer (AUT) and this time I hardly made any mistake and won 7-0. My last match was against Sara Rocha (POR) and after a good game from both of us, she won 7-6 after I made a huge mistake, trying to play a safety. I played really well, got my break working and was on my way to run out on hill-hill. After getting through all the difficulties on the table, I lost the cue-ball and it went 10 cm to far. In my attempt to play a safety I hit the nineball and left the table wide open. That was it, 25th…. When you get a match in the first round you also get one in the first losers round for some reason. Most people had a bye in this round.
The good news is that despite of my lousy rank in this tournament I am back up in the seeded top 8, on 7th place actually. I am pretty happy with that, I have a good chance for a spot in the WC 9-ball in august. I hope so:)
Ana Mazhirina (RUS) won against Jasmin Ouschan ((AUT), and also climbed to the no 1 spot on the ranking. Congrats!
We also made a small video ( kozoom made it, we just did what we were told:)) You can find that on facebook: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=505736936148380.
