World No. 1 Cho Myung-woo (28, Seoul Metropolitan Government) achieved five wins in a world tournament for the first time in Asia.

Cho Myung-woo topped the Bogota 3 Cushion World Cup in Colombia on the 13th (Korea time) by beating Vietnam's Tran Tanluck 50-35 in the final.

With this victory, Cho became the first Korean player to win four World Cup titles. Along with Vietnam's Tranquiet Chien, he also set a tie record for the most wins by Asian players in the "3 Cushion World Cup." Furthermore, he became the first Asian player to reach the top of five wins, recording a total of five wins at the world championships, including one win at the world championships.

The early flow of the game was completely passed on to the opponent. Cho Myung-woo was tied to six consecutive innings and rarely scored, and at one point, he was losing by up to 12 points. But the game changed from 11 innings. Cho Myung-woo, who broke his silence with a single bank shot, later displayed incredible concentration.

He quickly turned the game around by hitting a high run that swept 17 points in a row, bringing the flow completely to his own. Cho Myung-woo, who gained momentum, later overwhelmed his opponent with an unshakable game operation, and filled 50 points in 22 innings to secure the championship.

For Cho Myung-woo, Bogota was not an easy performance. It is a place where they felt sorry for losing the group stage in succession at the 2024 and 2025 tournaments. But this time it was different. In order to overcome the environment of the alpine region, he arrived there about 10 days ago and conducted a thorough pre-adaptation, which led to his performance.

Eventually, he came out on top in the most dramatic way, turning his weakness into strength.

With this victory, Cho Myoung-woo once again solidified his position as a world-class player by winning his fourth World Cup title. In particular, the ability to manage the game without being shaken even in a crisis has matured.

A federation official said, "It was impressive that we did not lose our concentration and regained the flow even in difficult situations in the beginning," adding, "It was a match that perfectly matched the thorough preparation for the mountain environment and the ability to manage the game."

This victory is evaluated as a result of once again imprinting the competitiveness of Korea's three-cushion billiards on the world stage beyond the personal record.

In the game, Trantanluck took the lead early in the final, but Cho Myung-woo succeeded in turning the tables with 17 points on the high run. After that, he finished the game by maintaining the difference in score through stable game management. Cho Myung-woo also beat Tran Tanluck at the 2024 World Championships and the 2023 Asian Carom Championships to reach the top.
