Jean Galmiche , (born January 24, 1910 in Saint-Étienne , France ; † January 29, 2000 ) was a French carambola player in the classic disciplines of free game and cadre and billiard functionary. He was vice world champion, European champion and fourteen-time French champion.
biography
Jean Galmiche's paternal family originally came from Belonchamp ( Haute-Saône ), but later settled in the Saint-Etienne region where Jean was born.
Career
Jean Galmiche, a "Stéphanois", as the residents of Saint-Étienne call themselves, had a long sports career, first participating in the World Cup at the age of 26 in 1936 in Mulhouse, three years later he was runner-up in the free game in Lausanne . On July 14, 1979, he was awarded the gold medal for youth and sport. He was distinguished by his longevity in billiards, but also in his other sports, tennis, table tennis and car racing. He needed this as a physical counterbalance to the strenuous game of billiards. Galmiche was married and was a full-time sports goods retailer. He was a student of Professeurs (billiards teacher) Favergeon and holds most of the French records in the free game.
The French specialist magazine "Tennis Magazine" organized an extraordinary tournament in January 1979 between the holders of the then senior record Paulette Viel (70 years old, 15th place) and Jean Galmiche (68 years old, 30th place).
Board work
He was elected several times as vice-president to the board of the French billiards association Fédération Française de Billard (FFB). Before that he was a member and secretary of the “TC Stéphanois” (Saint-Étienne).
