I know nothing about darts, but holy hell that is a lot of people there watching darts.
Edit: My first gold! Thank you so much.
Great to see, it’s one thing that’s confused me about darts (and snooker as well). Why isn’t there women on the same level or better than men? There’s no distinct advantage to being male in these sports, is it purely down to being a male dominated sport?
That’s cool. I was thinking only the other day that it seemed like a sport where there could be at least some degree of overlap between men and women.
So did she win the world championship, or is this just saying she didn’t get eliminated against the first male opponent?
Wow, a 91 average is bloody impressive. She didn’t get lucky with her opponent, that average would have beaten loads of the players in the first round. The 2018 champion and world no. 2, Rob Cross, just went out with an 89 average.
The other female qualifier only narrowly lost as well, 3-2.
She straight up has a Star Wars name.
Did you know you can now play darts online at the bar and with people from all over the world? Well you can and it’s awesome! I go to the bar every Thursday night and play in a low level league with buddies. Drinking and throwing darts at the board against another team across town.
Hell yeah on Fallon Sherrock!! Obviously not an easy task!
Darts fans are a much more lively bunch than I imagined.
That crowd, mosh pit basically. Amazing
Im surprised she is the first woman to beat a man. This doesnt seem like a sport that would favour one gender over the other.
The dude was so gracious in defeat, FairPlay to both of them
ONE HUNDREEEDD ANDDD EEEIGHTTYYYYYYY

3:57 for the lazy, but the rest is pretty entertaining
As far as I’m aware, being at the darts is just a side show for getting lit af.
A great time.
Is that a normal crowd for a darts championship?
Proof that you don’t have to be an overweight balding man to be good at darts.
Any other sport with such fine margins and intense concentration would force the crowd to be quiet while they made their throws… But not darts. And thats why I fucking love it.
It’s like pantomime and sport all in one.

Shout out Ted Evetts (guy she beat) went to school with him, in my year.
