1991 Beijing, China | Официальный сайт QubicaAMF

The 27th AMF Bowling World Cup was held at a bowling center housed in a massive Holiday Inn complex, actually a city-within-a-city. There were a dozen restaurants, a grocery store, numerous retail outlets, even luxury apartments. The bowlers and their entourages explored Tianamen Square, the Great Wall of China, and countless other tourist and cultural attractions between rounds at the lanes.

A gangly young American from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, named Jon Juneau claimed the fifth-seeded position in the men's stepladder and proceeded to beat some of the best in the business: Paeng Nepomuceno of the Philippines, Taipei spinner Cheng-Ming Yang, Gery Verbruggen of Belgium and, finally, Sweden's Ulf Hamnas. Hamnas had been sensational all week but four opens in a row in the title game sank him, 205-149.

Sweden's Asa Larsson was 300 pins ahead of the women's field going into the stepladder, and she put the finishing touches to her dominance by edging Britain's Pauline Smith in the finale, 190-184.
