Cross claims second European Championship title after defeating Van Gerwen

Rob Cross has taken the title at the European Championships for the second time in his career. Voltage was too strong for Michael van Gerwen in the final.
Before the final it was already known that a former winner would lift the cup in Salzburg. Cross had previously won the tournament in 2019, while Van Gerwen had taken the title from 2014 to 2017.
Cross had the most energy left in the final, in which Van Gerwen made a tired impression. The level of both finalists was not good. Cross had a 92.71 average, against 93.66 for Van Gerwen.
Van Gerwen missed three darts in the fourth leg to make it 3-1. Cross made it 2-2 on double 9 and then took the lead with a 123 finish. From that moment on the Englishman was never trailing again. He went from 3-2 to a 9-4 lead.
It became exciting for a while as Van Gerwen fought back to 7-9 and even had four chances for 8-9. He missed them all and Cross took the 10-7 lead on double 4. Moments later Cross took the title in the 19th leg with a superb 11-darter.
For Cross it is his first major title since 2019, when he also won the European Championship. That year he also triumphed at the World Matchplay, while he claimed the world title in 2018.

- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024

- I've always thought the top 24 should be made up of major winners and runners up then Euro tour followed by PC tour winners - if you don't have 24 after that then have some qualifiers.Thomas Moffatt03-11-2024
- If he gets even a ticking off there is something drastically wrong. Cut this woke crap, he was celebrating in the heat of the moment, not like he abused Bunting or punched someone, he was elated.Mysstree02-11-2024
- Not a Dobey fan at all but itβs bizarre that the winner of 3 Players Championship rounds does not qualify ahead of any runner up. The GSOD seems to be going the same way as footballs Champions League with a lot of non winners. The old football European Cup was a tournament of winners. GSOD should be for winners only and by tournament prestige and if itβs ranked. Not enough players or multiple event winners then add winners of the big invitationals such as the Premier League and WSOD.Mysstree02-11-2024
