Table tennis player Denis Tserna wins Cup of Moldova

Women's silver medal was won by Alexander Kiryakova, with Yekaterina Shmyganovskaya ranking third

Dubossary, 1 February. /Novosti Pridnestrovya/. The Cup of Moldova table tennis tournament took place in Bendery on 29 January, which gathered the strongest players. Among the contenders for the title were Dubossary tennis players, the official website of the district state administration reports.

The Cup of Moldova is the second most important tournament after the Championship of Moldova, but like that in the Championship, cup winners gain the same 16 points, which enables them to participate in the Championships of Europe and World as part of the national team, the website reports.

The Cup was won by the international master of sports, a trainee of the Republican table tennis school, Denis Tserna, who is currently among the leaders with 22 points. The coaching staff may rely on Denis to ensure his leadership by winning the remaining two tournaments — Championship of Moldova and Federation Cup — and will participate in the European championship.

Women's silver medal was won by 12-year-old Dubossary player, Alexander Kiryakova, who has 15 points after this competition and has approached the group of leaders.

Yekaterina Shmyganovskaya won bronze and currently ranks next to the leader in the overall standing with 28 points. She hopes, however, to regain the leadership in the subsequent tournaments.

The Championship of Moldova, which will directly affect the formation of the national team, will take place in a month. Dubossary tennis players are actively training for this competition.
