Candlepin Bowling - Pete Pereira vs. Tom Olszta
Спорт
(Re-uploaded in better quality and in one piece) Air date: 2/19/1994. This was the 21st week of Tom Olszta's historic run during the 1993-1994 season of Candlepin Bowling on Channel 5, with this particular show featuring Tom taking on Pete Pereira, who was making his first appearance on the show in 4 years.
This was a great match the whole way through, as both bowlers made some great shots (ESPECIALLY from Pete at 7:49) that led to a close finish throughout the final game.
Hope you all enjoy :)

I wish we had candlepin bowling here in Ontario, Canada. It seems like everyone is having fun and I love the way the crowd gets into it

@@ethanlevy8778 no not at all.Berger was as good as Tom but Tom did it for a longer period of time. I think the Berger 500 was amazing.The greatest match was the Holbrook vs Tommy. Tommy rolled 3 strikes in a row to win the match.428-422.

@@ethanlevy8778 No, but Tom had a seasonal high average of 137. Outstanding. He also had a 504 triple.
Since I saw the Olszta vs Mike Morgan match (Win #1 in the streak) was uploaded recently, I decided to go back and watch/rewatch every match I could find in order, including the Championship show. There were a few matches missing along the way, but I'm sure I'm not the only one who is looking for the match following this week against Peter Surette, and then the final match vs Fran Onorato. Since reading Tom sent in some tapes, does that mean we will get to see those soon? For anyone else wondering, the others missing/not yet uploaded or found from this incredible 23 week run are: Wk 5 vs Jim Putney Wk 8 vs Lee Buskey (only 2nd half of the match is online) Wk 9 vs Bill Treeful Wk 10 vs Wayne Dennen Wk 11 vs John Miller Wk 17 vs Glenn LeBlanc Wk 18 vs Rick Bourassa Wk 22 vs Peter Surette Wk 23 vs Fran Onorato Hope to see these someday if anyone out there has them!
thank you
Pete's daughter is 28 years old now...and she's immortalized on the Internet for saying "Gaaaa" into a microphone. :D
This looks so old for 1994. I feel like I would have been a baby when this was filmed.

I was a young man of 30 then.
Hey Woodman... How do you obtain these videos? I was on the channel 5 show vs. Tom. I think it was 1988. It was the last show of the season and Tom qualified for the final show vs me. It was a good match until the third strong when I got blown away. I would love to see it posted on youtube. Can you help or tell me how I could get it?

Oops.... Wolfman.
I'm pretty sure by this point they were getting ready to call Tom Olszta the "perpetual" champion rather than "defending" champion.
21 weeks?! Wow!
@Wolfman12395, what is the longest streak that a bowler has had in the history of Candlepin Bowling?
I didn't know that Mark Wahlberg was such a good bowler.
7:45 NO WAY, YES!
the reason those pins rock back and forth they are brand new I hated that when I bowled
Does anyone know why they're not required to alternate lanes in string 2?

A good question, since this would be unthinkable in tenpins. Tom Olszta tends to bowl so quickly that the only way to slow him down is to make the bowlers do both of their boxes on the same lane, which requires waiting for the pins to reset. Otherwise, they would finish the three strings with 15 minutes leftover to fill with boring interview fluff.

why did they swap lanes every frame for the first game but not the other 2

It depends on time. If they are running ahead of schedule they have you stay on the same lane as it slows things down as you have to wait for the reset of the pins.
46:32 I'm dead
NEver saw this before. I was a duckpin bowler, had a higher average than either of these two in this game. Would have loved to use the dead wood in duckpins.

I'm from the New England area and I bowl ten pin bowling and my average is better at that but sometimes I wished it had dead wood too. So I know how you feeling.

duckpin averages are higher than candlepin generally. i think deadwood makes things more interesting but you have to be damned precise.
DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE STEVE POPOLO IS HE WAS A CHAMPION THE BALL ALWAYS BOUNCED THREE OR FOUR TIMES GOING DIWN THE ALLEY HE NEVER BENT OVER TO THROW ALWAYS stood up right.
Tommy O wins without his A game against a pretty good bowler. Tom looked tired, maybe bowled a back to back that day?
22:33 I'm sorry, did he say skip puberty?
I don't believe the 5 pin 6;17--6:19. spins around
