Pankaj Advani added one more world title by beating local favourite Nay Thway

On Sunday, in Mandalay, Myanmar, the 34-year-old Advani further a new to his
already bulging kitty of world titles by beating native favourite Nay Thway Oo 6-2
within the 150-up format of the IBSF World Billiards game Championship. It’s
wonderful however Advani keeps raising the bar. He has extended his exceptional
run of winning world crowns since 2003 and therefore the Bangalore-based cueist
has currently won additional world titles in his sport than anyone else. Sunday’s title
was his fourth on the trot within the 150-up format and, apparently, beating identical
opponent for the second year in a very row by the same score.
I play four to 5 World Championships a year. not like others, Who concentrate either
on table game or snooker, I play all the formats. That’s an enormous and on behalf
of me, Advani aforesaid on Sunday evening. And I’m still as motivated and excited
as I accustomed be in 2003 or 2004. I don't like resting on my laurels and keep
pushing myself. therefore, there's no dearth in motivation,” the articulate cueist
before said.
In the short format of Billiards game, this can be Pankaj’s fifth title within the last six
years. thus, however will he see that It’s such a precarious format so unpredictable
that winning this four year on the trot and 5 out of the last six is extraordinarily
special, he said. His favourite Roger Federer has won twenty Grand slam titles. thus,
however will it feel to win 2 quite the sportsperson he admires the most Not
dangerous. however, on a significant note, as I aforementioned earlier, I play
additional world meets than anyone else. In individual sport, Asian nation India has
seen icons like 1980.
All England badminton champion Prakash Padukone, five-time world chess
champion Viswanathan Anand and battler Sushil Kumar, Olympic medallist in 2008
and 2012, ennobling a generation of athletes. however, we have a tendency to
haven’t seen that a lot of kids take up cue sports following Advani’s large
performance. Well, it’s unfair to mention cue sports isn't there compared to
badminton game, chess or wrestling. It’s catching up 1st, however perhaps it's to
form additional noise. Faculties and colleges are giving space to their current game.
Well, it’s unfair to say cue sports is not there compared to badminton, chess or
wrestling mentioned.
