Ouschan showcased her immense skill and determination by defeating fellow Austrian Sandra Baumgartner with an impressive score of 8-3 at the Best Western BHR Treviso Hotel, marking a significant milestone in her illustrious career.
A Perfect Start to 2025
Ouschan's journey to victory wasn’t easy, as she faced jet lag after recently competing in the United States. Yet, she rose to the occasion, demonstrating resilience and focus. “It was exhausting to be honest,” she commented, reflecting on the demanding schedule. However, her excellent performance, which included seven wins during the tournament, laid a solid foundation for a busy 2025 season ahead.

Ouschan expressed her enthusiasm about the involvement of Predator in the Euro Tour, emphasizing the need for fresh energy as she aims to participate in more tournaments. Her positive attitude and commitment to the sport align with Predator’s vision of enhancing opportunities for female billiard players. With their support, we can expect to see more competitive and engaging events in women’s cuesports.

She reminisced about their long-standing friendship and shared journeys in the sport, promising to continue competing in future events. This camaraderie between players enriches the community, fostering a spirit of support and motivation.
The Role of Predator in Women’s Cuesports
JP Parmentier, Sports Marketing Director of the Predator Group, highlighted the significance of Ouschan’s victory.
