For Dirk van Duijvenbode the European Championship ended in a big disappointment. Aubergenius' went down in the opening round against James Wade.
Van Duijvenbode had to deal with injury problems. "The steering of my shoulder blade was completely gone, my arrows often went completely in the wrong direction," opens the 31-year-old Dutchman to Viaplay.
"For my feeling I had been suffering from it for some time, but on my return from the World Grand Prix it went completely wrong. I had slept a little on the plane and upon returning home I went to the osteopath. I could barely throw my arrow at the board, it was that bad."
"In the meantime we have found what the fault was, not the cause. It's already a lot better than three weeks ago, but not good enough yet," Van Duijvenbode concluded.

- Wright deserved to be selected for the premier league last year. He was the only player besides Humphries to win a major (European Championships) in the back half of the year. And he was still ranked in the top 8. Plus he's a draw for fans, let's face it that's a big factor.Matilda6212-12-2024
- The game needs Lewis,he's a top bloke. If they put wright in the premier league last year,they can give Lewis a tour card. He has nothing to proverick6710-12-2024
- What a shame about Sophie. She played brilliant darts all week and was always so calm and controlled. Maybe all those matches at the end just flattened her batteries. She will surely be champion in the future. Congratulations Beau on your 3rd World Championship, she admitted she was not 100% on form but still prevailed.richieburnettrocks09-12-2024
- No matter the competition she faces, when she's retired she can say "I was a multiple Women's World Champion" rather than "I repeatedly got knocked out in the 1st or 2nd round at the PDC World Champs." As a female why wouldn't she want to be a women's world champ? Darts players want to win surely? Her average on the women's tour was 84.86 which would've placed her in 152nd on the Pro Tour, she's wise enough to know that as it stands women still can't compete with the men apart from the odd win here and there mainly on the challenge tour. It's about time the PDC really invested in Women's darts and held a world champs for them.Baphomet08-12-2024
- She can play well but not sure at the moment to win a single game at Ally Pally, here she can take 25000 only playing left hand so easy cash for her bankroll. And Littler apart there isn't any 20 years old player to play PDC Worlds so she can widely take her time to step up.cycyP308-12-2024
