The 29th edition of the PDC World Darts Championship starts on December 15. Ahead of the start of this tournament, Dartsnews looks back on some beautiful and remarkable events in the history of this event.
The very first edition took place in 1994, about eighteen months after the split from the BDO. At that time, the new federation was called the World Darts Council (WDC). This would later change to the Professional Darts Corporation, better known as the PDC.
At the time, 24 players competed for the World Championship. Dennis Priestley and Phil Taylor reached the final, which was won by Priestley with 6-1 in sets.

- 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
