MANILA, Philippines — Filipina cue artist Rubilen “Bingkay” Amit has secured her spot in the upcoming 2025 World Games after finishing as the runner-up in the Asian 10-Ball Women’s Pool Championships held in Doha, Qatar.
The three-time world champion claimed the silver medal after a closely fought final, where she fell short against China’s Liu Shasha, 7-6.
“I finished second in the Asian 10-Ball Women’s Pool Championships here in Doha, Qatar,” Amit shared on her Facebook page.
“With this achievement, I have officially qualified for the 2025 World Games in Chengdu, China,” she added.
Fellow Filipina cue artist Chezka Centeno also earned a podium finish, bagging the bronze medal after competing against China’s Yu Han.
