With an unrepeatable success for Greek billiards, the European Three-Point National Team Championship ended in Antalya, Turkey, and Nikos Polychronopoulos and Kostas Kokkoris climbed to the top of the podium, giving Greece its first gold medal in the history of the sport!
The Greek duo triumphed in the final against Sweden’s Blomdahl / Nilsson in the scotch double (tie-break) after a sensational performance, which is expected to remain unsurpassed for many years after the Greeks made 14 carambolas in a row (with a maximum possible number of 15) to ceremoniously secure the gold medal.
Previously, Polychronopoulos / Kokkoris had similarly defeated the Dutch Jasper De Bruyne in the semi-finals in a tie-break and with 2-0 victories over a French duo in the quarter-finals.
Overall, the performance of Nikos Polychronopoulos in the team was amazing, as he clearly beat all the stars of European billiards, while Kostas Kokkoris was unerring in the decisive tiebreaks.
