Smith lost about 20 pounds in only a few months. “I did that by paying attention to my food and especially at more regular times. I also went for a walk and even started running lately. I hope to be able to walk about 15 kilometres in one go, ”said Smith at RTL 7.

During the World Matchplay, Smith immediately felt the result of his efforts. "In the second round I had a long game against Mensur Suljovic, in the end I felt as fresh as in the beginning. I used to think that only the mental aspect was important in darts, but now I have noticed that the physical aspect is at least as important. ”
