Tears after darts hit
World Championship sensation! Wright kicks defending champion out
Sensation at the World Darts Championship: Scotsman Peter Wright defeated reigning champion Luke Humphries (England) 4:1 in the third round on Sunday evening!
What a show from Peter Wright! Although the two-time world champion (2020 and 2022) went into the match with a knock, the 54-year-old put on a great performance. Wright scored an average of 100.93 points and had a double rate of 70 percent.
His opponent, 29-year-old Luke Humphries, seemed frustrated from the start. In the end, the defending champion was sensationally beaten 1:4.
"I've never experienced that before"
Wright was in tears of joy after the match. "I've never experienced such support in my life. Thank you guys! I've never experienced anything like it. It's amazing," he said after the match in an interview with Sky Sports.
Wright is now aiming for his third World Championship triumph. "I've been struggling with my form all year, which is annoying because I know I can still play good darts!"
