Once again, Raymond Ceulemans won a European championship with a new European record. In the general average (GD) it screwed the new record to 1.621 . He secured his tenth three-cushion title in a row. As almost always in recent years, it was far superior to its competitors. The Austrian Johann Scherz secured only one record . In the best individual average he even had the opportunity to attack Ceulemans' world and European records. He had 58 points in 22 shots in the game against Laurent Boulanger . If he had scored the last two points in the next shot, it would be the best game ever played in a tournament worldwide. With two recordings he would have set Ceulemans' record. Unfortunately there were three recordings. With 2,400 he played the best single game that has been played at European Championships so far. For the German champion Hans-Dietrich Runkehl from Düsseldorf, the championship ended in tenth place in his first international appearance.
