Michael van Gerwen set a World Matchplay record last night by successfully setting up a double from a score of 181-220 five times: 183 - T20 T20 T13 - 24 196 - T20 T20 T20 - 16 208 - T20 T20 T16 - 40 210 - T20 T20 T18 - 36 217 - T20 T20 T19 - 40
Michael van Gerwen has set an extraordinary record at the World Matchplay in his semi-final against Dimitri van den Bergh.
Never before has a player in one match at that tournament managed to leave a double with a cover shot from 181-220 five times. A cover shot is the turn before the doubles are hit.
For example Van Gerwen threw a 180 from 196 to leave a double 8. He also hit a double with scores of 159, 168, 174 and 177.

- 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
