history

The Swede Torbjörn Blomdahl won his 26th World Cup tournament in the Andalusian seaside resort of Torremolinos. In the final, he defeated Eddy Leppens from Belgium with a 3-2 set. His biggest rival Dick Jaspers failed, as in Bogotá, in the round of 16 and lost important points in the overall World Cup title. Record world champion Raymond Ceulemans made it to the podium again and with 1.516 the best average of the tournament. The Turk Semih Saygıner , who shared third place with Ceulemans , is getting better and better . The two Germans Christian Rudolph and Martin Horn , who both reached the quarter-finals, played a good tournament . Very unlucky, the Austrian Andreas Efler retired in the first round. Against Saygıner he lost very tightly in the fifth set with 14:15 in five shots and played the very good average of 1.729.
