MORE THAN A CHAMPIONSHIP
This week, Oslo witnessed something truly special.
For the first time, U19 rising stars and Parasport athletes competed side by side – on the same stage, under the same roof, for the same love of the game.
It was a powerful reminder that sport is for everyone.
Youth – the promise of tomorrow, stepping up with courage and ambition.
Parasport – the triumph of the human spirit, proving that ability knows no limits.
Together, they showed us that inclusion is not just a word – it is the future of sport.
THANK YOU
To every athlete who gave it their all – you inspired us all.
To the Norwegian Billiards Federation, the Norwegian School of Sport Sciences, and the WPA – thank you for making this historic event possible.
To the referees, volunteers, organizers, and every single staff member behind the scenes – this event would not have happened without you.
From Oslo to the world – we'll see you next year. ![]()
