1965: Raymond Cuelemans Wins World Championship

Belgium three-cushion billiards ace Raymond Cuelemans breaks down weeping upon winning the world title in 1965, as runner up Enrique Navarra embraces him. Here’s the story of this image, as told by the Mexican Union of Billiards Champions (Umcb Gallegos Jesus) and translated approximately from Spanish:

“The XX World 3-Cushion Championship was held in Buenos Aires, Argentina from October 22 to 29, 1965. The venue, The Casal de Cataluña, had a full house with more than 3,000 spectators for the final match between the two undefeated players: Raymond Ceulemans from Belgium and Enrique Navarra from Argentina (World Champion 1953 and 1958). The score was in Navarra’s favor 30 to 27 in the 20th inning and then Ceulemans executed three consecutive series of five caroms in the 38th, 39th and 40th innings and went on to win by 60 to 40 in 45 innings. Recognizing his triumph, the Argentine public applauded and sang the name ‘Ceulemans, Ceulemans, Ceulemans’ for 15 minutes without a break. Unable to contain his emotion, Cuelemans broke down in tears, taking refuge on the shoulder of runner up Navarra.”
