Luke Littler and Luke Humphries will headline a star-studded World Championship

A year ago he was a revelation. A 16-year-old who attracted attention with his confidence and extraordinary performances. With the calmness of a seasoned swashbuckler, he coached much older opponents, finishing just short of the top. Now Luke Littler arrives at the World Darts Championships as the big favourite and one of Britain's most popular athletes.

S klidem příznačným pro ostříleného mazáka školil mnohem starší protivníky, skončil až těsně pod vrcholem. Teď přijíždí Luke Littler na šipkařské mistrovství světa v pozici velkého favorita i jednoho z nejpopulárnějších britských sportovců.
