One very special moment in Bowling.
Unique in the world, probably.
This Cup is in doubles (men and women's division) format.
In the third game of the 3rd day, we had a very special moment. Ademir Medina and De Luquetti, husband and wife, were bowling side by side. Medina in 17-18 and Luquetti in 15-16.
Both started their games with strikes, followed untill the 9th frame. Mr. Medina bowled his tenth frame first. 2 strikes and a solid 10 for a 299. At this moment, everybody in the center was in silence and watching the sesational final. Then Ms. Luquetti started her 10th frame, and also made 2 strikes. She almost couldn't stand to bowl the last ball, and she left a 6 pin for a 299, in the same game, same tournament, side by side to her husband
This is probably unique in the world.
