Tournament commentary

The tournament was broadcast live by Internet TV station Kozoom . As expected, Korea was the strongest represented with 25% of the participants, followed by the host and host country Egypt. Austria and Germany were able to send one participant each this year after a long break.

Group stage

Defending champion Kim Tae-kwan , younger brother of Kim Haeng-jik , the four-time junior world champion, reigning Asian champion and senior vice world champion, could not cope with the new material and in his first game could not get past a draw against the Spaniard Carlos Anguilla, although he played the tournament top series of 9 points. He was able to win his other two group games and moved into the final round as first group. The Spaniard suffered a bitter defeat against the Egyptian Youssef Ossama at 10:25, but was then able to prevail against the other Egyptian Mahmoud Amman and moved on as second in group A. In Group B, too, the Korean player Han Jiseung advanced one round with 6 match points ahead of the second Spaniard Andres Carrion, reigning European champion. The Peruvian Christopher Ramirez was one of two players who did not win. He was last in the World Cup, behind the second lot less, the Austrian Patrik Butora, seventh placed last year, from Group C. The competition was too strong with the Korean Shin Jung-ju and Tom Löwe , Vice Junior European Champion from Germany. Group D had the only really convincing player with the eventual winner Cho Myung-woo . So he made it into the last round unbeaten with 6 match points and the best individual average (ED) of the tournament of 2.272.

Finals

Half of the final round was occupied by Koreans who continued to deliver strong games. It almost came to an all-Korean semi-final. The hosts' only remaining player, Ahmet Hatem, was hopelessly overwhelmed by title contender Cho and clearly lost at 15:35. In the game World Champion (Kim) against European Champion (Carrion) it was a draw in the follow-up. The penalty had to decide. Kim got the first push and missed. Carrion was now 1 point, he scored and was in the semifinals. For the German lion it was over in the quarter-finals. Although it was his best game with an ED of 0.862, he was not strong enough against Han. With a 6th place, his World Cup debut should have been more than satisfactory. But in order to keep up with the world class, Löwe still has to work on his game. and increase its average to ≤ 1,200 in the long term in order to be able to keep up with the strong Asians.

For the Spanish European champion, the tournament was over in the semifinals against the eventual tournament winner Cho. Cho prevailed confidently with 35:22. As in the previous year, the final was between the Koreans. Cho met his compatriot Shin and celebrated his first world title with a six point lead.
