DOUBLES - GAMES 7 - 12 - LONG OIL
PATTERN:
SQUAD 1 (Sunday, 14:30)
Finland's Minna Mikela and Jaana Stromberg
(pictured) managed to keep their pole
position after the opening game of the second
block despite a fairly disappointing score of
336, bringing their seven-game total to 2957.
Hot on their heels are Sweden's Christel
Carlsson and Nina Flack, eight pins in arrears.
Third place is held by the English mum and
daughter combo of Pauline Buck and Jemma Smith,
bowling the second highest game of this opening
block, a 432.
A solid 464 from the Finns in the second game
saw them stamp their authority on the
proceedings and open the gap over second-placed
Sweden, 3421 - 3360. Now comes a strong
challenge with 393 from Germany's Tanja Thiessen
and Tina Hulsch, combining for 3302 for current
third place, demoting the English to fourth
after their 358.
Finn Stromberg has the high game on this squad,
a 258 in game two.
Now halfway through the block and Finland still
tops with a 439 and 3860 total. Making up
ground, Sweden hit 457 and close to 3817.
England back in the frame with a nice 459 for
third place on 3733 and Germany slip to fourth,
410/3712.
Status quo after four games with the top two
places, although the gap between Finland and
Sweden narrows as the Swedes hit 405 to Finns
373. Germany had a great 460 to move back into
third place, whilst England's 356 dropped them
to fourth.
Germany nudge up to second place after game
five, thanks to a 279 from Tina Hulsch, and come
just 15 pins behind the Finns. The English
dropped to seventh after a low 360 and the Danes
threaten once again, now up to fourth.
The highest game of this squad, a 490, goes to
the Czech Republic's Jana Maresova and Dana
Hanusova. End of the first squad and Finns
Jaana Stromberg and Minna Makela have set the
target of 5077 for a spot in the top four to
contest the medals tomorrow evening. A final game
of 447 got them away from the challenges of Sweden
and Germany, but the Swedes came up into second
spot after a 463 and the Germans just managed 375.
Top scorers of this squad were Germans Tanja
Thiesen and Tina Hulsch, contributing 1219 and
1311 respectively for their 2530 total. They were
well ahead of the Swedish duo of Christel Carlsson
and Nina Flack on 2492, although Flack came in
with a 1299 series, second to Hulsch.

SQUAD 2 - MONDAY, 09:00:
Highlight of this morning's play is, of
course, the perfect game by Germany's Patricia
Schwarz (pictured), bowled in the third game of the second
set. The
 scores are much higher today on the
long oil pattern and so far it is looking as
though the 5077 target set by Finlands Stromberg
and Mikela will be beaten, but strange things
have been known to happen in the home straight.
Danish sisters Mai and Anje Jensen are setting a
hard pace and only need to average 349 a game to
equal current first place and bid for a place in
the semifinals later this evening. Nobody will
take any bets on them not succeeding.
The final games saw the deadly Danish duo set a
new high with 5205 but strong competition came
from another Finnish combo, Reija Lunden and
Pititta Kantola, just three pins back on 5202. A
double and a nine count in the tenth frame from
Anja Ginge Jensen kept the noses of the Danes in
front.
Schwarz,30. now living just outside Helsinki in
Finland with Mika Luoto, hit 1477 on the long
oil pattern today and rolled her fifth career
perfect game. Her six-game total on the short
oil was just 1165. "I normally bowl much better
than that on the short pattern. I did hot the
pocket all the time but just didn't get the
carry, so I left a lot of single pins," she
commented. "That is something I will have to
work on." FINAL QUALIFYING STANDINGS |
