The Norwegian Championship, which took place in Sandnes/Bryne, is finished.
I would like to congratulate the winners:
Paul Even Andersen and Liv Marie Jakobsen
| Paul Even Andersen, or Even as
he is know to all of us, impressed us all by winning his first Norwegian Championship. He
was in the top the whole way and he proved unbeatable during the PP final. He came into
the stepleader final as the no.1 ranked player and won the last game of the tournament
with 202-182 (The scores in the final step were pretty low, but I know that the pressure
the players experienced was enormous). For full results: go to the result page. |
Liv Marie Jakobsen, came into
this championship as a newly selected member of Team Norway. She was a great talent a
couple of years ago, but she took a couple of years of the circuit. This year she has been
back with a vengeance and have, among other things, rolled a 300 game. She beat the
leading player of the tornament, Ingunn Øien (396) - (375) in the final step. Due to her
performance, she will play for Norway in the E-Cup. For full results: go to the result page. |

But best performance, in my opinion, was
made by Audun Kleven when he won the bronze medal in the

Audun Kleven, 17 years old from Tønsberg, impressed everybody
here in Norway when he won the bronze medal in Wien. He managed to stay focused all of the
24 games, and when the Championship was over he got his reward. He had an average of 204
over the tournament, which is quite impressive on the tough lane conditions. He was also
selected "Player of the Tournament" by his competitors. On the first
day he rolled a 1301 in the doubles event, and finished second in the singles, however
this did not count as a seperate event. For full results: go to the result page. |
The Norwegian Bowling Federation also held a new national tournament know as "klassemesterskapet". Here in Norway we seperate the players in classes according to their average and gender (i.e. Men A = 195+ average).
(So there were held eight seperate events, Men and Women Classes A - D)
And the winners were:

I guess it will be know as:

Tore Torgersen did it again !!! After his success in England two weeks earlier he went to the U.A.E and won one of the major tournaments in the far east (The U.A.E Open).
