Europa Utmanar USA I Bowling
2007-10-18 16:55 CEST Europa utmanar USA i bowling Vid bowlingens världsförbunds (WTBA) kongress nyligen beslutades att det är fritt fram för proffsen att spela VM. - Det är kul att de allra bästa spelarna får chansen att vara med vid de stora mästerskapen, säger Tomas Leandersson, den svenske förbundskaptenen. Under kommande helg får Tomas personligen uppleva hur det är att ta sig an världens ledande professionella spelare. Då avgörs nämligen den åttonde upplagan av Weber Cup, mötet mellan Europa och USA, som har kallats bowlingens svar på golfens Ryder Cup. Tävlingen avgörs i Barnsley, som ligger i mellersta England, och allt spelas på en enda bana som byggs upp för det här arrangemanget. Tomas Leandersson är, precis som vid de tidigare sju mötena, lagkapten för Europas lag. Och hans lag är ute efter revansch, i fjol vann USA med 18-17, den jämnaste matchen hittills. Det var också förra året som man introducerade proffsspelare i Weber Cup. Det utnyttjade båda lagen. För Europas del genom att ta med finländaren Mika Koivuniemi och USA genom att satsa på trion Chris Barnes, Tommy Jones och Jason Couch. I år har Europas lag en stark nordisk tonvikt: Tomas Leandersson (lagkapten), Tore Torgersen, Norge, Paul Moor, England, Mika Koivuniemi och Osku Palermaa (debutant), båda Finland. USA: Tim Mack (lagkapten), Bill Hoffman, Chris Barnes, Tommy Jones och Doug Kent (debutant), de tre sistnämnda från PBA. Det amerikanska laget inkluderar tre av de största stjärnorna på PBA-touren. Barnes, Jones och Kent låg på topp 5 i inspelade pengar förra säsongen. Doug Kent vann två så kallade majors och blev utsedd till ”Årets spelare”.
