Hans Vultink (born June 13, 1937 in Aalten ) is a Dutch carambola player and multiple world and European champion.

Career

At the age of six, Vultink began playing billiards in his parents' café. His father Frans was a successful billiards player himself, but had to quickly acknowledge his son's dominance. At the end of the 1960s, Vultink achieved international success for the first time with the silver medal in Cadre 47/2 at the 1967 World Cup in Cairo, victory in the Cadre 47/2 European Championship and third place in the Cadre 47/1 European Championship. His Dutch competitors at the time were Piet van de Pol and Henk Scholte . In 1975 he became world champion in cadre 47/1 in his home town of Rotterdam and set a new series world record with 300. He ended his active career in the early 1980s after winning two silver medals at World and European Championships in 1980. Overall, during his 20-year career, in addition to the international titles, he was also 52 times Dutch champion.
