DYNAMIC BILLIARD EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIPS 2023
Mens & Ladies Teams - Poland Rule The Teams
Reporter: Luke Riches on behalf of the EPBF
Photography: ©EPBF
Saturday, the penultimate day of the 2023 Dynamic Billard European
Championships, saw the two team medals decided in what is often one of
the more dramatic of the multiple events taking place at the
championships. In the men’s event it was an always strong Polish team
facing off against Norway who may not have been many people’s tip for a
medal but nonetheless had done the business throughout the tournament.
In fact, Norway may have had the mental advantage coming into the match,
having sent Poland to the one-loss side earlier in the tournament.
Norway got things underway as they took the opening racks in all three
matches. In the 10 ball, Emil-Andre Gangflot, who had won the 10 ball
gold in the Under 23 division earlier in the week, took a 2-0 lead over
Wojciech Szewczyk, while Mikael Oegaard was similarly placed in the 9
ball against Daniel Maciol. Mats Schnetje was also two to the good
against Mateusz Sniegocki in the 8 ball game.
Facing a 3-0 deficit, Daniel Maciol potted his way back to 3-3 against
Oegaard, while in the other two matches, an inform Gangflot led Szewczyk
3-1 and in the 8 ball, Sniegocki and Schjetne were tied up at 3-3. At
the half-way stage, things had shifted back into Poland’s favour as they
lead in two – 7-4 and 4-3 and trailed 5-4 in the other.

"Read More..." for the details.
Daniel Maciol was the first player over the line as he overcame a 3-0
deficit to defeat Mikael Oegaard 9-4 to take the 9 ball tie and now he
just needed one of his team mates to win to claim the gold medal. With
Schjetne leading Sniegocki 7-6 in a race to 8, and Szewczyk 5-4 ahead
against Gangflot, it was still very much open to both possible outcomes.
Sniegocki though, got the match to hill-hill and with the break in his
favour had the golden opportunity to get Poland across the winning line.
With years of experience to draw on, he made sure of it to seal the Mens
Team gold medal for Poland.
For Wojciech Szewczyk it was a first ever European Championship gold
medal. “Of course, I’m delighted. It’s my first European Championship
gold and teams are always special because you can share your happiness
with your team mates”
In addition to the three players competing in the final, the team also
included Sebastian Batkowski and Konrad Juszczyszyn, who had competed in
earlier rounds of the competition.
Batkowski added, “We’ll be celebrating tonight, that’s for sure. For
three years in a row, we’ve had medals in the team division. First time
it was bronze, then silver and now gold. So that is fantastic.”
Medals – Men
Gold – Poland - Mateusz Sniegocki, Wojciech Szewczyk, Daniel Maciol,
Konrad Juszczyszyn, Sebastian Batkowski
Silver – Norway – Mats Schjetne, Emil-Andre Gangflot, Mikael Oegaard
Bronze – Netherlands – Nick van den Berg, Jan van Lierop, Marc
Bijsterbosch, Yannick Pongers, Tim De Ruyter
Bronze – Spain – Francisco Diaz-Pizarro, Jonas Souto, Jose Alberto Delgado, Iker
Andoni Echeverria
Poland’s women made it a day to remember as they defeated Ukraine,
winning both matches, to join their male counterparts on the top of the
podium. Heading into the match, the Poles were definite favourites but
they still had to get the job done but it was by no means a walk in the
park.
The ladies, play to a different format with just two games followed by a
scotch doubles shoot-out if the two matches are shared. Ukraine and
Poland were level in the early stages, Oliwia Zalewska led Darya
Siranchuk 2-1 in the 8 ball, while Liubov Zhygailova was 2-1 ahead
against Monika Zabek in the 9 ball.
The gold medal was still anyone’s as the two matches approached the
half-way stage; the 9 ball match was tied up at 3-3 while Ukraine held a
slender lead at 4-3 in the 8 ball. However, the momentum shifted
Poland’s way in the latter stages as Zalewska came back and reached the
hill in the 8 ball, 5-4 up against Siranchuk. Meanwhile, Zabek got
herself back into the game and at 5-3, was two racks away from a victory
against Zhygailova.
It was Oliwia Zalewska who got the first point as she held herself
together for a 6-4 victory and she would have to nervously watch on to
see if Zabek could close out the other game for the gold medal.
Zabek took the tenth rack to leave Poland one away from victory. With
three balls left, Zabek felt the pressure as she missed a tricky 5 ball
which ultimately lead to losing the rack, giving Ukraine a glimmer of
hope.
That hope was dashed though as Zabek pulled off a complicated rail-first
2/9 combo when she was snookered and she let out a delighted whoop as
she sealed the gold medal for Poland by a 2-0 scoreline.
Commented Zabek, “Of course, I was thinking about the defeat to Ukraine
in the winners’ qualification round, but not too much. I just wanted to
not disappoint my team mate and play my best and in the end it was OK. I
enjoyed that a lot – you could tell by my shout when I won! This gold
medal is so mesmerizing!”
Zalewska added, “I am very happy. Just look at our faces! What happened
today will be in our memory for the rest of our lives.”

Gold – Poland - Oliwia Zalewska, Monika Zabek,
Silver – Ukraine – Darya Siranchuk, Viktoriia Nagorna, Liubov Zhygailova
