Rykowski and Szwajkowska Polish Champions
2007-06-19
_________________
As the 4th Polish Racketlon National Championships were played in
Zgierz near Lodz during the last weekend (15-17 of June) Rafal
Rykowski took the Men's Elite title. Unlike some other players
that took part, such as Krzysztof Samonek (presently world ranked
33) and Norbert Stolicki (WR132) Rykowski does not seem to have
ever taken part in any world ranking event (judging from his
absence from the present world ranking), which is also true for
his opponent in the final; Pawel Szostek. There seem to be
untapped Racketlon talent in Poland...
In the Ladies' class the title went to Krystyna Szwajkowska, who
became internationally known when she beat Lilian Druve (world
ranked 1 at the time) in the 2006 world championships by one
single point (tt:21-10 ba:21-16 sq:17-21 te:10-21).
