In a nerve-wracking final in London’s Alexandra Palace, veteran Peter Wright wins the Darts World Cup against the man of the future, Michael Smith.
Routine wins against youth – Peter Wright is darts world champion for the second time.
In the end, experience and nerves prevailed in the final of the Darts World Cup. 51-year-old Peter Wright, the 2020 world champion, was initially behind with 4: 5 sets and 0: 2 legs. His opponent, Michael Smith, who was twenty years his junior, appeared to have found his mojo after a difficult start. Smith had already broken Gary Anderson’s tournament record of 71 180s, and in the end it should be an impressive 83 throws with the maximum number of points.
