(Dan Tri) - In less than a year, Vietnamese billiards won all titles from individual to team in the world carom 3 cushion. This made the international media admire.

Kozoom, a website specializing in billiards, exclaimed: "Vietnam holds all the major titles in world billiards. The journey to conquer the highest peak of the world for Vietnamese people has now been completed."

Most recently, the Vietnamese 3-cushion carom team with two players Tran Quyet Chien and Bao Phuong Vinh won the world team championship after a dramatic final match with the Spanish team in Viersen (Germany) on Sunday afternoon (European time)," Kozoom added. Just a few months ago, Bao Phuong Vinh won the world 3-cushion carom championship, at the individual championship held in Ankara (Türkiye). The runner-up at the World Championship (in billiards, the World Championship is the highest tournament, taking place only once a year) was Tran Quyet Chien. And now, the pair Tran Quyet Chien and Bao Phuong Vinh helped the Vietnamese team win the world team championship (World Championship National Team).

Kozoom commented: "Vietnam's 3-cushion Carom has conquered a new record very quickly. This is the first time in history that Vietnam has won the world team championship. The Spanish team is very good, they stood firm until the last minutes, but the Vietnamese team is still the winning team." "The tie-break table (a "doubles" competition, where players from each team take turns playing, the team that reaches 15 points first wins), in the dramatic final match like a horror movie, the score kept flying back and forth between the two sides, each side giving the audience the feeling that they could win the championship at any time. In the end, Bao Phuong Vinh helped the Vietnamese team win the decisive point and win the championship," Kozoom expressed admiration.

Meanwhile, on the homepage of the UMB World Carom Billiards Federation, this page wrote: "An unbelievable drama happened in Viersen (Germany). The world team finals had an almost unreal moment, the moment that people often call "sudden death" in extra time in football. After 2 singles matches and a 2-2 draw in the doubles match, Bao Phuong Vinh scored the decisive point, bringing a proud victory to the Vietnamese team," UMB further described. Not only did they defeat the Spanish team in the final match in doubles, in the quarter-finals and semi-finals, the Vietnamese team with players Tran Quyet Chien and Bao Phuong Vinh also defeated the Belgian and American teams after these matches. UMB continued: "In the semi-final, the Vietnamese team also won a dramatic 15-13 victory in the "doubles" series against the US team. Notably, before this year's tournament, Vietnamese billiards had never won a medal at the world team championship."
