Meeting the team they defeated in the winner's qualification shootout, 3-2, the Filipinos made fast work of the British three of Kelly Fisher, Jayson Shaw, and Darren Appleton to capture the gold medal and the lion's share of the 40,000 Euros.
After a 4-3 triumph over Kelly Fisher in the women's singles set, Amit gave the Philippines a 1-0 lead.
“It feels amazing to be champions,” said Amit.
“We’re, we’re very, very happy, and very and relieved. Finally, no more matches, we can rest and enjoy it and enjoy Austria and Klagenfurt!" Amit added.
Biado's nine-ball long shot defeated Jayson Shaw 4-3 in the men's single set, giving Team Philippines a 2-0 commanding lead in the race-to-three series.
Amit and Chua conspired for a 4-1 victory over Fisher and Darren Appleton in the mixed doubles to cap the Philippines' unblemished record in the tournament.
Biado and Amit were both members of the silver-medal winning team in 2014 when China defeated them in the final.
Team Philippines needed to beat Team Poland 3-1 in the quarter-finals and Team Germany 3-2 in the semi-finals to advance to the finals.(Romeo Braceros Jr.)
