FIRST HONORS TO DENMARK

One squad finished and 14 to go as the 2005 Olympia tournament gets into gear and picks up speed, on course for yet another successful Super Series event, the first of the 2005-2006 season.

And the man setting the pace is Jesper Nielsen of Rodovre, near Copenhagen (pictured), operator of the pro shop at the world famous World Cup Hallen just outside the Danish capital, hosts to the AMF World Cup twice.

Nielsen, 23 today and 24 on Tuesday, said: " The lanes were great for me and I got good carry while some of the other players didn't do so well." The 2001 European Championship silver medallist had a high game of 262, including seven strikes in a row to top the leader board on 1318.

As a successful tournament and league player, Nielsen was installed as a staff member for Roto-Grip.

Defending champion Mathias Arup of Sweden hasn't got off to a good start this year, currently in 42nd place.

STANDINGS AFTER SQUAD 1:
