Oliver Ortmann

Oliver Ortmann Pool PlayerFrom- Germany

Age -    37

Based -   Hamburg

Nickname -  The Machine

Hobbies -  Music, PC, Movies

Years Playing -  A pro 15 years

Cue Used - BCE Kruger

Achievements - 1995 World Pool Champion. 1997 and 2000 Challenge of Champions winner. 1995 and 2002 Mosconi Cup winning captain. 13 times Euro Tour Champion, 41 German and 26 European Championship medals. Currently ranked No.1 in Europe.

After moving base to Hamburg and putting some personal troubles behind him, Ortmann now finds himself in some of the best form of his career following a string of impressive victories in Europe. Always o­ne of the lynchpins of European pool, Ortmann hit a purple patch in the mid-90's when he won almost everything the game had to offer including the WPA World Championship. Since then his form has ebbed and flowed but a definite highlight was the stellar captaincy job he did for the European side at the 2002 Mosconi Cup when he galvanised a talented team into match winners. Last year's Mosconi Cup defeat in Las Vegas was a bitter disappointment but Ortmann is in a strong position to take his place as playing captain when the two transatlantic teams resume battle in December. A definite contender for the Masters.
