The Dane was naturally happy after his game. – Of course I’m happy that I got a result for the final on the first try.
Niclas arrived in Finland today. – We traveled here today. It’s been a long day but that didn’t affect my game, he continued.
Sorensen is in Tali for the third time. – It’s nice to come here. This is a great hall and it is a good atmosphere here.
Niclas played his game mostly with a reactive ball. – I started with reactive and sometimes I used urethane. With reactive I got my reaction the way I wanted.
Even though Sorensen got a place in the final, he still plans to play the qualifiers. – I am wondering if I’ll play again tomorrow, he said.
In the second place in the squad was Sweden’s William Svensson, a familiar player from the Tali International Games. He was holding on to the squad win for a long time. He threw a score of 1434 so he will also be seen in the final. In the third place was Denmark’s Mathias Ankerdal with a score of 1338.
