I won my first match today and then lost in the second round in the single elimination. That means 9th place. It could be better and it could be worse. I tend to play one good match and then one really crappy match. I need to fix that in the eightball:)

Line got bronze in 10-ball, not bad:) Actually all six players in the norwegian team was in the single elimintaion and Matey Ullah finished on 9th place also. Hopefully we can keep it up in the eightball that starts tomorrow. My next macth is at 14:15.

I will try to get some photos in later, the internet is not the fastest..

I have played three matches today. I started ok, pulling myself together when I was  down against Kristina Schagan (GER), and won. Second game against Kamila Khodjaeva (BEL) was a nightmare. Nothing was right and she won 6-0. After that we went outside the hotel to get something to eat and change scenery for a while and that helped. I played really well in my last match against Hana Kaslova (CZE) and won 6-2. Tomorrow the single elimination for the last 32 startes and I play against Elul Kibaroglu (TUR) at 12:30.

Now, it is time for bed
