Haneveer now plays at [[semi-professional]] level and also commentates on snooker matches for Dutch [[Eurosport]]. ==Career== Six times Belgian Snooker Champion, (Last title won in May 2007 vs [[Patrick Delsemme]]), he lost in the final of the European Championship in [[Scotland]] in June, 2000. He was European Champion at [[Enschede]], [[Netherlands]] and at [[Riga]], [[Latvia]] in June, 2001. Haneveer won the snooker gold medal at the sixth World Games held in Akita, Japan, in August, 2001. He made a 147 break during the 2003 European Championship at Bad Wildungen in Germany and another during the Belgian Championships, 2007. He won the bronze medal at the seventh World Games held in Germany (21 July 2005). He was a Main Tour professional for many years, and reached a top ranking of No 53 during the [[Snooker season 2004/2005|2004/2005 season]].
