Last night's leading ladies, the second
group on the lanes, switched to be the first
female squad this evening and there was no
change of the pole position. Sun Hee Lee,
the four-year Korean national team member,
kept plugging away and held off strong
challenges from two top Europeans, Tina
Hulsch and Helen Johnsson.
Sun bowled really consistently this
afternoon, suffering just one game under 200
with a 192 in the third, but had 210, 202, 211,
223 and 212 for games with very little variation
and enough to hold pole.
2005 champion Lynda Barnes ran from 190 to
246 in her 1,285 second set and is now in a far
better challenge position.
Luby Log:
Contestants in the
Bowling World Cup come from every walk of life,
of course, but Irena Strakova of the Czech
Republic is probably the first art restorer in
the tournament’s 43-year
history.
The petite brunette holds down a full-time
job at the Narstkovo Museum in Prague, where she
repairs and refreshes old prints and drawings on
paper. Many are hundreds of years old and
require years of training and a delicate touch.
Irena’s newest assignment at the museum may make
her even more unique. She is presently learning
to restore mummies, ancient embalmed bodies
removed from tombs in ancient lands.

Second shift
Malta's Sue Abela certainly must have
enjoyed her six games on the closing squad
for the day, once again dominating play and
bowling well enough to promote herself into
second place overall now that the twelve
qualifying games have been completed.
But where did she find that 155 in her fifth
game tonight?
Opening her account tonight with 193, she
then upped the ante to 2321, 223, 238 and
..... 155. Fortunately, she got her line
back to close with 220 for a night's work of
1,250.
Newcomer to the highest echelon is Sasha
Luciano of Puerto Rico. Her 1,323 tonight
brought her up into third place and demoted
tina Hulsch of Germany to fourth.
