Biography

Quick began playing cue sports at the age of 13.[2]

Having won the world pool championship in 1999 and then the snooker title in 2001, she became first person in either the women's or the men's game to win both titles.[3]

Following her World Snooker Championship victory, Quick told the BBC that she had to return to her job as shop assistant at a newsagent in Weston-Super-Mare the following morning – "but don't worry, I will be celebrating my win in style if I can get a day off later in the week." [2]

Quick was named World Snooker's Woman Player of the Year in 2001.[4]

gollark: It would probably help to use less awful voting systems.
gollark: Well, I'm waiting for their explanation on 1, 2 sounds like the thing I said would be bad, 3... maybe?, 4 doesn't seem like a problem, and 5 might be something dislikeable but not right wing extremism.
gollark: mautam has other reasons, I mean.
gollark: I would agree with that - having the minimum standard be "immediately disavow anything some group decides they don't like" would be intensely problematic - but maybe they have other reasons.
gollark: Anyway, please answer my three questions.
