Historic triumph
Austria has a European champion
Billiards ace Florian Nüßle has been crowned European 6-Reds Snooker Champion for the first time. The 22-year-old Styrian crowned his run of success on Friday evening at the title fights in Albufeira, Portugal, with a 5:3 victory over England's Stuart Watson in the final.
Nüßle turned around a 1:3 deficit in the final to win all eight of his European Championship matches. The Salzburg-based cue artist became the first Austrian to win a European Snooker Championship title.
"I'm really happy"
"I've had the feeling for a long time that a success like this was coming and I'm delighted to now hold this trophy in my hands," said Nüßle, who won bronze in the general class at the European Championships two years ago, after his triumph. The 6-Reds-Snooker is a shortened format with only six red balls instead of 15.
