Express UK- Christian Kist earned one of his biggest-ever paydays by hitting a nine-darter at the World Darts Championship.
The tide then turned against Kist, who ended up losing his first-round match 3-1.
I don’t know shit about darts, so I will keep this one short and sweet.
1- Sticking 3 darts this close to each other is so cocky my brain can’t comprehend it.
(Sidebar - what a great fucking movie as a kid.)
2- speaking of Robin Hood, look at all the maniacs in the audience dressed up.
These guys as Masters caddies.
And this guy as Snow White I think?
“I didn’t know that at all, I hadn’t been told that,” he said.
“That is an absolute windfall.
Hitting the double-12 felt amazing.
It was a lovely moment for everyone.
Maybe I will go on vacation next month.”
5k of that came from his run to the semi-finals of Players Championship 22 in September.
3- A 9-Darter is preposterous.
It would be like throwing a 27-pitch perfect game in baseball.
Or would it be a 9-pitch perfect game?
It’s basically equivalent of bowling 300 right?
Just people getting plastered, dressing up like goofballs, and losing their shit every time somebody wins.
Sounds like T-Box but without all the drunk girls crying on sidewalks, and a million times better.
(If you’re from Chicago you know).
Plus, the crowds police themselves.
Plus, name me another sport where you’re free to win $60k just for showing up?
And these people can freaking drink.
Daily Star- We expect thousands of pints to be sunk by fans letting their hair down over the Championships.
In 2023, it was reported that over 500,000 pints were consumed.
Pro darts in England is wild.
I looked into going and tickets are not easy to come by.
- this is hilarious -
p.p.s.
- I cannot fucking wait for July 4th in Manchster
