Six-time WPA World Champion Henrik “Henke” Larsson joins Legends of the Cue for a remarkable conversation about his life, career, and the evolution of Parasport pool. Born with a spinal condition that left him unable to walk, the Swedish champion shares how independence, music, and a chance meeting with influential cue-sports leader Jorgen Sandman helped shape his future.
Henrik takes us inside his rise through European and world wheelchair pool, unforgettable battles with rivals such as Jouni Tähti, his championship mentality, and the adaptations required to compete at an elite level from a wheelchair. He also discusses his years as a poolroom owner, entrepreneur and trick-shot entertainer, his work with Sweden’s Wheelchair Academy, and his leadership role advancing Parasport through the World Pool Association.
Funny, candid and deeply personal, this is the story of a champion still chasing another world title—and a legacy far greater than trophies.
