World Qualifier in Straight checkers

The World Qualifier event just completed in Turkey today, the three winners are all from Africa, the winner won the right to challenge the world champion Bellini from Italy.
Our Vadim Lapin took 5th place! His wife Tanya was second in the World Women championship.
One name I want you to remember - Crispin Odhiambo, (known as "Goj") got same points as the winner from South Africa. 
For years best African players travel to Kenya to challenge the legendary Goj, but he easily defeated them all - be it in Pool or Straight checkers!!!

Another name worth mentioning, Mwaboti from Kenya. He is a blind player.
