Virtanen and Schwarz lead European rankings after four events
02/28/06
Finns Kai Virtanen (left) and Lasse Lintilä (right) remained atop the 2006 Men's European Rankings after the fourth stop of the 2006 European Bowling Tour, the Ebonite International Luxembourg Open. All but one event thus far were "regular" tournaments that awarded half of the ranking points of a "major" tournament such as the season opening tournament, the Ballmaster Open.
However, slowly but steadily, defending ranking champion Paul Moor of England and runner-up Osku Palermaa climb up the ladder. Palermaa, who defeated Moor in the semifinal in Luxembourg to finish second, moved into fourth place, while Moor used his third-place finish in Luxembourg to leap into third place.
Patricia Schwarz of Germany, who cashed 100 points for being the top-ranked woman in the Ballmaster Open, remained atop the women's rankings though the former World Games champion hasn't bowled in any other ranking event yet. After receiving ranking points for the fourth time in as many events this season, former World Champion Zara Glover of England is mere one point behind Schwarz in second place.
The European Bowling Tour is at Planet Bowling in Gava, Spain, this week for the Catalonia Open, Wednesday through Sunday, March 1-5, 2006. As the tournament is the tour's second major one does not need to be a prophet to predict that the rankings will change dramatically. By the way, Osku Palermaa is the defending champion.
The top 8 men and top 8 women in the rankings at the end of the season qualify for the 2007 World ranking Masters to be held in Doha, Qatar.
