Xicheng Han set for PDC World Darts Championship debut despite qualifier defeat as Xiaochen Zong denied spot due to vaccination issues

An extraordinary turn of events occurred at the China Premier League. Xiaochen Zong dominated and won the event, but will not travel to Alexandra Palace in December for the PDC World Darts Championship.
Zong beat Xicheng Han in the final of the qualification tournament 11-6. Still, the defeat is without consequences for Han.
That is because Zong cannot be vaccinated against coronavirus due to allergies. Therefore PDC China decided to send the losing finalist Han to the World Darts Championship, a source told Darts Actueel.

Absolute disgrace! I was looking forward to seeing Zong play in the World Championships. He's class. You don't even need to be vax'd to enter UK where all COVID restrictions have been removed.

- The next prodigy (prodigies) are just round the corner. Wonder if it gets to the stage of 180 after 180 being hit leg after leg whether there will be a modification to the equipment such as reduced doubles and trebles, reduce the size of the board or length of the oche?Mysstree25-03-2025
- obviously littler has the potential to surpass everybody simply because nobody has been this good at this age before, but people who think he would be any kind of favourite right now against prime taylor in a big final have short memories. it's obvious that prime taylor wouldn't win as many world titles if he was playing today, but there's also good reason to believe he'd be winning more than anybody else. hell, his statistical profile still stands alone in darts history and he might statistically be even better if he was playing today with better equipment, larger beds, more competition therefore more motivation, etc.colt24-03-2025
