Michael van Gerwen heads into this next World Championship as the favourite and the man to beat and we take a look back at his first triumph in the latest throwback video.
Previously, Van Gerwen's form in World Championship had been average but after losing out to Phil Taylor the year before in the final, he didn't need a second opportunity.
He defeated Peter Wright in a brilliant 7-4 win; but for Wright it helped in sorts to relaunch his career after he was going to give up.
A good story for both players despite Wright not coming out on top, view the highlights of the final below:

- I might actually enter this next year,for £5 and an egg cup! It's a disgrace considering the previous champions. I won't be watching,and I doubt many others will either. Taylor, Barney, Burnett, Hankey, Wolfie,you'd win this with your eyes closedrick6705-11-2024
- Shame that Beau has got Noppert first, he is less likely to fold, Schindler or Menzies may well of. Still think she can win the group, even if not can still qualify for the knockout stages.Mysstree05-11-2024
- I agree with the other posts here. Cameron Menzies did absolutely nothing wrong... he showed some passion-being a human - which is good to see. The last thing we want is grey/woke robot players who are far too afraid to show any emotions whatsoever. Woke is killing most sports and is having far-reaching consequences - in general.MrYnyslas197105-11-2024
- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024
