Edmond Soussa - Wikipedia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Edmond Soussa (11 October 1898 – 29 May 1989) was an Egyptian carom billiards player in various disciplines and 11-time world champion. To date, Soussa was the only African to win world titles in the sport.

Career

Edmond Soussa was the first major amateur billiards star of the late 1920s and mid-30s after the end of the professional world championships in the United States of America. Born in Egypt, he immigrated in the mid-1920s to France. There he met Roger Conti, one of the best billiards coaches at that time. He quickly proved his great talent as an all-rounder. At the 1927 balkline 47.1 World Championship in Paris he finished third place. The following year he won three-time world championship titles in the disciplines three-cushion billiards, straight rail and balkline 47.1. He dominated the carom scene during the upcoming years and has won a total of eleven world and two European titles. ^[1]

In the mid 1930s, he withdrew from active billiards play and worked as a freelance artist in Paris.^[1] With the beginning of the Three-Cushion World Cup in 1986, he returned to the big carom stage. Werner Bayer, founder of the World Cup convinced him to design a trophy for this tournament series. He attended various three-cushion World Cups in his old age.^[2]
