Dennie Olde Kalter has won the men's singles tournament at the 2024 WDF Europe Cup in Slovakia. After Co Stompé (1998), Raymond van Barneveld (2004) and Richard Veenstra (2016), he is the fourth Dutch winner of this event.
Olde Kalter won consecutively over Kristaps Mickus (4-0), Jonas Masalin (4-3), Aaron Bradley (4-0), Nicky Denoon (4-2), Oliver Ferenc (5-4) and Laszlo Kadar (6-5) to qualify for the final. In the semifinals against Kadar, Olde Kalter managed to win three legs in a row after falling behind 3-5. Losing finalist Adrian Devine managed to knock off top favorite Cameron Crabtree 6-2 in the semifinals, after the Irish darter was previously too strong for Angelos Moulangelis (4-1), Remy Gaardlykke (4-1), Alexander Merkx (4-2), Scott Robertson (4-3) and Marko Janjic (5-1).
Olde Kalter started the final well by winning five of the first seven legs. However, thanks to three good legs, Devine brought the deficit back from 5-2 to 6-5. Olde Kalter then got to start the twelfth leg and started fantastic with a 180 score. After nine arrows Olde Kalter was already under 100 and with a 12-darter the Dutchman secured victory.
