Chitra pockets World snooker title

Overcoming her early exit in world snooker championships in the WLBSA event, Chitra Magimairaj showed tremendous grit and determination to pocket the senior snooker title in her first appearance on Tuesday. The Bangalore cueist won all her four matches without dropping a single set against accomplished snooker players from across 13 countries.En route to her final 

clash with Alena Asmolava of Belarus, the 41-year-old also met compatriot Umadevi Nagraj in the semifinal match. Former world champion Chitra has bagged three gold, three silver and three bronze medals in the WLBSA event so far. Meanwhile, reigning national billiards champion Uma, who lost to Chitra 0-2, is still looking to regain her Billiards crown. The Bangalore duo had failed to clear the league stages of the world snooker event on Monday.
