Chris Robinson v. Danny Olson
- Thread starter kollegedave
- Start date
Is anybody watching this? They have had some tech problems, but it has been a good show. Danny Olson has been playing like a 800 Fargo.
Looks like Danny is gearing up for a spot on the Mosconi Cup team.
I was surprised to hear Billy Thorpe say he's known Danny since he was 12, and is without question, a top player.
I just checked to see if I could find out how old Olson is. The best I could find was that in mid-2011 he won the 18-and-under title in the BEF Junior National 9-Ball Championship. That same year, Thorpe (who is now 24) won his second consecutive 14-and-under title.
He just turned 28 a few days ago
Thanks. Joey Ryan (on the stream) just said he thinks Danny is 27. So I guess Joey is a birthday or a year behind.
Hey AtLarge, I was hoping you were watching this. I saw a little over half of it, on each day. I’m guessing Danny’s break and run isn’t that phenomenal, but his win after a successful break is huge. He ran out well, but when it wasn’t there, he played a lot of really good lock up safes off the one.
Sorry, I watched only a small part of this match.
Oh well, can't do them all.
Saw Danny win against SVB, bar box eight ball, a couple of years after this. I don't know, but I guess, they have played a lot. Seems like Shane would likely be a big influence on his game.
