Career

National tournaments

Florian Nüßle became interested in snooker as a child and played pool with a standing aid when he was five years old. He also played football in his youth for five years for SK Sturm Graz and golf but ultimately opted for snooker. He reached the goal after the secondary school certificate to go to England to start a professional career.[2]

In 2007 he first participated in the national youth championships. He won his first national title at the age of 13 in the under 16 age group, and defended the title in the following two years. In 2015 he also won the under 21 title and defended it in the years that followed. The following year, he became the youngest player to win the national championship, when aged 16, he won the Austrian National Championship.[3] He also became ranked as Austrian number one that season.[3] The following year he played Andreas Ploner in the final, winning 5–2.[3]

International tournaments

After his first national youth title, he played in the EBSA European Under-21 Snooker Championships and IBSF World Under-21 Snooker Championship. At the 2017 event, he reached the quarter-finals of the U21 event. He also entered the IBSF World Snooker Championship that year, reaching the semi-finals losing to eventual champion Pankaj Advani 4–7.[4] From 2017, he competed in the annual pro-am Paul Hunter Classic (PHC), an amateur tournament from the World Snooker Tour. He would defeat professional player Elliot Slessor during the 2018 event.[5]

gollark: First-past-the-post is the simplest and most obvious thing you're likely to imagine if you want people to "vote for things", and it's entirely possible people didn't look too hard.
gollark: I don't know if the people designing electoral systems actually did think of voting systems which are popular now and discard them, but it's not *that* much of a reason to not adopt new ones.
gollark: There are plenty of things in, say, maths, which could have been thought up ages ago, and seem stupidly obvious now, but weren't. Such as modern place value notation.
gollark: Obvious things now may just not have been then.
