Team event - German darts duo avert defeat at World Team Championship
Germany managed to narrowly win their World Cup of Darts match against New Zealand's Haupai Puha and Ben Robb on Thursday evening in Frankfurt am Main, securing a significant step towards the last 16 at the Team World Championship. Germany trailed 2:3 and was on the brink of defeat. In the seventh and decisive leg, Clemens hit a Bullseye for the win. "You need balls for this," Clemens said. The duo danced triumphantly on stage. Schindler and Clemens reached the semi-finals last year and are now aiming for the big throw.
Approximately 1500 spectators missed the big darts party in Frankfurt on Thursday, but the atmosphere was significantly better than the previous year's opening. Despite the European Championship marking the first break in play after 13 days, football also played a role. English fans cheered enthusiastically "It's coming home". "Major Tom (Completely Lost)" was also heard loudly.
"Incredibly hot"
The professionals were mainly challenged by the high temperatures in the hall and especially on the stage. "The heat was a bigger fight than anything else. It was incredibly hot in here in the hall," said the Irishman William O'Connor, who was still sweating heavily after his performance.
The top nations like England, Wales, and Scotland enter the Team World Championship with a total of 40 pairs on Saturday. The knockout stage, to which Germany now has good chances, begins then.
