The ancient city of Nanjing is set to host a top-class snooker event for the first time, as the world’s top players gather on the banks of the Qinhuai River to compete for glory. To promote snooker, allowing citizens to deeply experience the charm of world-class snooker events and inject new vitality and momentum into the high-quality development of sports in Nanjing, the city of Nanjing has reached an agreement with the event IP owner, CCTVSE, to host this event for three consecutive years (2024-2026).
Austria will celebrate tonight as Florian Nüßle has won the EBSA European Championship 6:Reds Champion.
The skillful Austrian Cueist came from 3-1 down against England’s Stuart Watson to win the Final 5-3 with some devastating safety play and brilliant escape shots.
Florian dedicated his win to his family and friends, the Austrian Federation and his long time Coach PJ Nolan, the EBSA HEAD Coach.
The 6 Reds event here was played at a very high level and was enjoyed by everyone.
Florian will also compete in the EBSA Shootout and the European Men’s Team Event.
Congratulations Florian
Action continues today in Portugal with the shoot-out event.
I have corrected a mistake in the report. The original text claims that the runner was a guy called Shane Mason. I don’t know where that came from but I watched the match and Florian’s opponent was definitely Stuart Watson, one of the very best Seniors players ↩︎
