Welshman Gerwyn Price, 35, is a world darts champion for the first time. In the final of the PDC Professional Association World Championship at the “Ally Pally” in London, he defeated Scots Gary Anderson 7: 3 sets.
For “Flying Scotsman” Anderson, who turned 50 a few days ago, the 2015 and 2016 world championship titles will remain.
The athletic and muscular Gerwyn Price, known as “The Iceman”, was a rugby player until 2014 before turning to darts. In recent years he has come closer and closer to the top of the world. It ranks third in the PDC ranking. A year ago Price advanced to the semifinals of the PDC World Championship, traditionally held at Alexandra Palace.
The 7: 3 means a relatively clear decision. Only once in the last twelve years has he had a clearer final, specifically in 2018, when the legendary Englishman Phil “The Power” Taylor lost the final game of his career to compatriot Rob Cross 7-2. (sda)
