Candlepin Bowling - Tom Olszta vs. Gary Carrington
Спорт
Special thanks to Tom Olszta himself again for this spectacular show that aired on 3/30/1991. (You can also find Alley Chat's version of the same show here if you haven't seen it already: • Alley Chat Classics - ... ) Apologies again about the audio popping/crackling throughout the program itself.
This was the 6th week overall of Gary Carrington's very high scoring run he had on Channel 5 as the show was entering the Spring season of 1991 itself. Legend Tom Olszta came in as Gary's challenger in this particular show, and I can basically say that I agree 100% with what Don Gillis said at the beginning of this program that it was a show that we definitely couldn't wait to see when it came to these two facing off against each other. Crazy scoring, tons of marks, tons of bonus money and some VERY clutch bowling down the stretch that set the stage in this telecast, especially for that year's Championship show as well when all was said and done.
Hope you all enjoy, R.I.P. Don Gillis.

Great match and one that never gets old!
I would rather meet Tom Olszta and Gary Carrington in person than many athletes who ride the benches making over 1 million dollars a year and complain they are in poverty!
This is great content. Oddly captivating. I wish this was the dominant form of bowling.
Love the particularly clear video!
In my opinion 2of the best bowlers on the planet, i had the pleasure of of bowling with tom in a pro-am tourney when i worked at leda lanes in Nashua, nh. Years ago , we smoked the whole competition thanks to tommy , 😂😂, met all the greats at the easter classic every year
Thanks for uploading this in the correct aspect ratio. Great match.
Both bowlers made great shots in this match! Great look back at this match between two Hall of Famers!!!!

Carrington is actually not in the HOF yet.
18:43 that shot, is what every bowler dreams of- the sound of the shot, the clean cut shot, the crowd reaction, gives me goosebumps
used to bowl back in the day. thanks for bringing this here.

An interesting fact: in Carrington's run that season he averaged a bit over 139 in six weeks. That was the all time record for an average in a single season on that show, which was on almost 38 years.
I’ve just recently found out about these candlepin and duckpin bowling videos, I never played both these bowling variants (obviously because it isn’t played here in New York where I live) but maybe I will if I ever get a chance to take my family to New England one day.

I wanted to open a candlepin alley in texas but the pinsetters are basically extinct.

128 average is slacking for Olszta lol.
Tommy had been on Channel 5 only once in 2½ years to that point and that was the 1989 live show. He wasn't on at all in 1990 so he was making his first regular appearance since November 1988. That's a long stretch for him.
They must be awesome putters.
Is it just me or does Olszta look like a Wahlberg a bit when he throws the ball?
They look so smart until they talk.
