Centeno misses Chengdu gold by a rack
The Philippine Star
|August 14, 2025
Chezka Centeno fell short of a gold-medal feat in the World Games in Chengdu, China on a 7-6 heartbreaker versus Chinese Han Yu in the women's pool finals yesterday.
After battling from 0-3, 3-4 and 4-5 deficits, Centeno took control, 6-5, before blinking and losing her touch that allowed Han to steal the match and the gold.
It was sweet revenge for Han, who lost to the 26-year-old Centeno in the finals of the World 10-Ball Championship in Klagenfurt, Austria two years ago.
