Thibault Tricole managed to qualify for the World Darts Championship on Saturday. The 34-year-old Frenchman was the best during the so-called West Europe World Championship Qualifier in Kalkar.
Tricole defeated Wesley Plaisier (7-4) in the final. Plaisier failed to become the tenth Dutchman to qualify for the World Darts Championship via this qualifier. This qualifier exists since 2010 and often produced a Dutch winner.
Only in 2011 (Jose de Sousa), 2012 (Carlos Rodriguez), 2017 (Kenny Neyens) and so 2023 did no Dutch winner emerge. Roland Scholten, Gino Vos, Jermaine Wattimena, Sven Groen, Jerry Hendriks, Yordi Meeuwisse, Jan Dekker, Chris Landman and Jimmy Hendriks were the nine previous Dutch winners.

- He looks very healthy. I doubt he can run or anything. You need carbs for that. Carbs fuel your brain also. It is the preferred energy source for the brain. Carbs get broken down into glycogen fuel for your muscles. As a rider I totally need carbs. However for a dart player who doesn't need a brain or be fit this diet is perfect.medinabello23-12-2024
