JAKARTA – Young Indonesian billiards player, Derin Asaku Sitorus, has achieved an extraordinary achievement by winning the runner-up position in the 2023 international tournament Formosa Cup ACBS Asian Pool Championships, junior 9 ball boys category, which took place in Chinese Taipei from 28 August to 2 September 2023 .
In a very tight final match, the young billiards player from the Mantra club had to recognize the superiority of the Japanese billiards player, Oda Kento, with a final score of 2-6.
Nevertheless, Derin’s struggle deserves a thumbs up, especially after going through a dramatic match against Fu Huan from Hong Kong in the semi-final match, which ended with a score of 6-5. The match was full of tension, with both men trying to fight for every point.
Derin was the only Indonesian representative who managed to reach the final round in this tournament, a very proud achievement. Deputy Chair II of Binpres PB POBSI, Fadil Nasution, expressed his appreciation to this young athlete who is still in junior high school.
“With his achievements this time, Derin has proven that Indonesia’s young generation has great talent and potential in the world of billiards,” said Fadil.
“By contributing to this extraordinary achievement, hopefully Derin’s achievements will be an inspiration for many young Indonesians to pursue their dreams in the world of sport,” concluded Fadil.
