"In two to three years I would like to be in the top-16" - Defiant Huybrechts not a spent force yet

Kim Huybrechts used to be a regular in the top-16 world rankings, but has been camped out around 30th place for a while now.

'Kim barely trains,' said VTM 2 darts commentator Matthias De Vlieger recently. "I certainly don't have a problem with that, on the contrary, it's just the truth," Huybrechts answered. "If I had put in more training work, I would have performed much more."

Huybrechts has been working with former darter Erik Clarys for a while. "He does sit behind my springs to train enough. I finally won another Players Championship this year, so that collaboration is definitely paying off. Although I still have to do it myself. The level is also higher than a few years ago."

'The Hurricane' has set himself some concrete goals. "This year that's the World Championship, everything else is bonus. Longer term, in two to three years I would like to be in the top-16 of the world rankings again."
