SAKOWICZ and ZYWORONEK won gold at home

In front of their home crowd Mateusz SAKOWICZ and Patryk ZYWORONEK secured the gold medal in the Under 15 Boys Doubles Event at the ORLEN European Youth Championships in Gliwice. They emerged victorious in the final overcoming Julian RZIHAUSCHEK of Austria and Tiago ABIODUN of Portugal.

The bronze medals went to Kenan KAHRAMAN and Gorkem OCAL of Türkiye as well as to Danilo FASO and Francesco TREVISAN of Italy. All four players had previously competed in the final of the European Under 13 Championships where Türkiye’s representatives won gold.

The winners from Poland justified their exceptional skills to clinch the crown in superb style (10 9 3 4).

“It’s an unbelievable feeling to be a European Champion. We played a great match starting from our mentality to our performance on the table. We had fantastic cooperation during this tournament so we are very happy and enjoying this success ” said Patryk ZYWORONEK.

Mateusz SAKOWICZ added: “Of course we were very nervous but who wouldn’t be in the European Championships final? We are really satisfied that we could overcome our stress and problems during the match.”

In the penultimate stage Julian RZIHAUSCHEK and Tiago ABIODUN overcame Kenan KAHRAMAN and Gorkem OCAL of Türkiye (6 -5 8 7).

The host nation supporters enjoyed the victory of their favorites in the semis Mateusz and Patryk. They defeated Danilo FASO and Francesco TREVISAN of Italy (-7 9 5 8).

“In the first game I played poorly. We had a little bit of a problem because we thought we would play later but then we had to rush to the hall; we had a fast warm-up and ran to the table. They surprised us with fast serves and changes in shot placement. When I played better in the next game together with Patryk we took the initiative and they couldn’t surprise us again ” explained Mateusz SAKOWICZ and added “They didn’t play as strong and we wanted to place the ball in the middle of the table. We are very happy to be through to the finals.
