Our thoughts and condolences are with Boris Koltsov, who lost his father on Thursday. Massive respect for still taking to the stage tonight to represent Russia 🇷🇺 👏

Boris Koltsov showed real courage on Friday night by playing in the World Cup of Darts after receiving the news that his father passed away on Friday morning.
Koltsov decided to stay in Salzburg and play his game against Wales on Friday. The Russian appeared with a black band on his shirt in tribute to him alongside compatriot Aleksei Kadochnikov.
Partly due to the circumstances, the Russians could not impress against favourites Wales. Their opponents Gerwyn Price and Jonny Clayton turned out to be too strong with a 5-0 win.

- I completely agree with Vincent's comments on "whistlegate". It's great to have someone with Vincent's exprience address this issue, so hopefully clearer and stricter guidlelines can be given to referees, security and members of the crowd. No whistling during throws, and something like: whistlers evicted and fined a hefty sum.
UndartedWaters19-11-2024 - 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
