Kyrgyzstani billiards player Arsen Kalybek uulu took second place at the Kremlin Cup, winning silver at the long-running event's twentieth edition. The tournament has been held for two decades and draws cue sports players from across the post-Soviet region, so the level of opposition stays stubbornly high. Getting to a final in a knockout format means winning round after round, since a single defeat sends a player home. Kalybek uulu kept that streak alive until the decisive match, where he settled for the runner-up spot. A medal at an event with this history is a solid result for Kyrgyz billiards. He ends the tournament one match short of the title, with the silver as proof of how deep his run went.
