Humphries on effect of weight loss: "Losing a bit of weight is a healthy life and a healthy mind, I feel really good"

Luke Humphries reached the final of the UK Open this past weekend and it has been duly noted about his weight loss and lifestyle changes.
It seemed to work for Humphries and he put it down to wanting the extra stamina for long days such as at the UK Open.
"Everyone thinks being a dart player is easy, it's not. You have to put a lot of hard work in and for me, I thought losing a bit of weight and gaining a bit of extra stamina is going to be extra and it's going to take me further," said Humphries post match during the UK Open.
"Losing a bit of weight is a healthy life and a healthy mind. I feel really good, I feel full of energy. The hard work that I've putting in through lockdown is helping me in that aspect and hopefully it carries me through to being a better player in the future."

- Luke Littler played incredible darts yesterday in the semi-final and the final, heralding a new era of darts (along with some of the other brilliant young players who are emerging). And yet, at Luke's celebration feast, de Decker's ghost is Banquo to Littler's Macbeth, mournfully looking on.
UndartedWaters18-11-2024 - Am not outraged and as said above i dont like anyone from any country doing it to anyone from any country. Whoever is going for a double should have best of order.Mysstree17-11-2024
- Say what? It happens in other countries; Littler in January - this year (Holland), go and watch the evidence on YouTube. If it is going to be done to English players, then we are more than entitled to dish the same back when players face off in England. When it happened to Littler in Holland in January... where was your outrage then? ABE attitude.MrYnyslas197117-11-2024
- I dont like individuals or crowds trying to put any player off when they are trying to check out, how anyone can think its okay for the crowd to whistle or shout as someone is throwing for a double is beyond me but it does seem to have become part and parcel of the modern game. I no longer play now, darts is as good as dead at a local level round my way but when i did play many years ago, no matter how intense the rivalry you never shouted out or whistled when an opponent from the other team was throwing for a double.Mysstree17-11-2024
- The pundits glossing over the other factor at play in that match. They appear to be somewhat constrained in what they can say publicly.UndartedWaters16-11-2024
