Pool, a game so popular in this country and all over the world, has at
last received international recognition. The IOC executive committee has
decided this year to include a demonstration pool competitions in the 2004
Athens Olympics.

This sport is also winning prestige in Ukraine. For example, the National
University of Physical Culture and Sport has introduced, on the initiative
of its Rector Volodymyr Platonov, Billiards as a new major. A few days
ago, the university opened Ukraine's first specialized pool center. The
new subject is being taught by President of the International Pool Federation
Jorgen Sendmann from Sweden.
