The tournament will be held at the Ding Junhui Snooker Academy in Sheffield and<\/span> will take place from February 10-14.<\/p>\n

Due to the Coronavirus pandemic, this is the first staging since 2019.<\/p>\n

On February 11, 53 contestants from 15 countries will begin group stage matches. Additionally, both Seniors and Under-21 tournaments will happen today.<\/p>\n

Ewelina Pi\u015blewska, a 43-year-old Polish multi-medal winner who is participating in the championship, said: \u201cI\u2019m excited but nervous at the same time – w<\/span>e\u2019re at the World Championships after all.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I feel proud to be one of the few contestants from Poland who can be here and make a difference.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSnooker games are not only about getting a ball to the pocket: it\u2019s about the tactics, just like during chess matches.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI usually train around three hours per day. Sometimes it\u2019s hard to do so because of other responsibilities, like work, family and house chores. <\/span>I prefer playing outside of my hometown, because I’m not focusing on things I have to do later at home. We\u2019re here for a week so I can commit fully to the game and enjoy it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Izabela \u0141\u0105cka, a 45-year-old Polish bronze medallist at European championships, said: \u201cI have claustrophobia, so flying is rather uncomfortable for me. But because I fell in love with snooker, I can confirm the famous words \u201cyou\u2019ll do anything for things you love\u201d are true. It\u2019s a remedy for my phobia.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSnooker relaxes me, calms me down and lets me focus. I try to set up realistic expectations, so I won\u2019t feel disappointed if the match does not go as planned. <\/span><\/p>\n

“During this Championship, I want to play good snooker and use everything I\u2019ve learned so far. I want to be satisfied with my games and not regret anything.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIf you want to improve your skills, you must play with players better than you, often lose and learn from the mistakes.”<\/span><\/p>\n
