Shortly after the final
Darts prodigy bursts into tears on stage
Darts prodigy Luke Littler burst into tears after losing the final in Hildesheim. But it wasn't for sporting reasons.
Luke Littler left the stage as a loser for the first time in his third European Tour final. In a thrilling final, the 17-year-old was beaten 5:8 by Scotland's Peter Wright - despite leading 5:2.
Tears flowed afterwards. The reason: Littler was mourning the death of the father of a good friend. "I'd like to mention my buddy Ellis. He lost his father. I've known him since I was three or four years old," said the Englishman.
"He's the strongest lad I know"
A few hours later, Littler took to social media once again. "I'm not looking for sympathy or anything, I just wanted to say that my best friend lost his dad at such a young age. I've known Ellis since we were both three or four years old and I've been thinking all week that he's the strongest lad I know," he said.
