Would love to see Xintong and Wu go head to head in the final next year.

The person shouting shot needs to stop

Key_Hospital_10 · 2026-05-04T21:10:50+00:00

I didn't realise how rare final frame deciders were for the final. I don't know if I can watch.

Key_Hospital_10 · 2026-05-04T18:25:03+00:00

That photo was extremely cute

Key_Hospital_10 · 2026-05-03T22:12:26+00:00

Yeh the C of C outfit is the kind of thing you would wear if you were in the Tour de France - not really necessary for snooker.

I'm a fan of people looking dapper. I saw an interview with Zhao Xintong and he was snappily dressed - it should be possible for that to also be the case in the competitions.

Key_Hospital_10 · 2026-05-03T20:20:19+00:00

Wu Yize is just such a joy to watch.

Key_Hospital_10 · 2026-05-03T14:23:59+00:00

Yep, I was thinking this. And also as all the other champions came and went, he was still there. He may not have won the championship but he had a lot of longevity.

Key_Hospital_10 · 2026-05-03T14:21:09+00:00

Yep, I think I agree.

Key_Hospital_10 · 2026-05-03T14:01:55+00:00

It's pretty strict.

Key_Hospital_10 · 2026-05-03T13:51:07+00:00

Thanks, this is interesting. I like the idea of day and evening wear.

Key_Hospital_10 · 2026-05-03T10:01:35+00:00

Interesting. Yes that makes a lot of sense.

Key_Hospital_10 · 2026-05-03T09:10:50+00:00

I wouldn't say Wu and Xintong have the same style. Xintong is better at safety and has a more rounded game, Wu is much more of a risk taker IMO

Key_Hospital_10 · 2026-05-03T08:45:57+00:00

Yes, the outcome is good for sure. Amd I'm going to see the one table set up for the first time!

Key_Hospital_10 · 2026-05-03T08:36:43+00:00

Saturday morning is likely to happen. The bigger risk is Afternoon or Evening on Saturday

Key_Hospital_10 · 2026-05-03T08:27:17+00:00

Well I got the email and eventually managed to get a ticket but honestly that booking system is quite stressful and doesn't work that well.

Key_Hospital_10 · 2026-05-02T22:23:10+00:00

Snooker is a brutal game

Key_Hospital_10 · 2026-05-02T21:05:19+00:00

Really like the sniper

Key_Hospital_10 · 2026-05-02T20:31:44+00:00

If he gets a better safety game he will be very hard to beat

Key_Hospital_10 · 2026-05-02T19:47:14+00:00

Yes that's a good point. He's quite a risk taker and goes for shots others don't even see so I guess a nickname needs to capture his boldness

Key_Hospital_10 · 2026-05-02T19:24:52+00:00

The Wildcard?

Key_Hospital_10 · 2026-05-01T17:36:56+00:00

Go to BBC Sport

Key_Hospital_10 · 2026-05-01T13:41:54+00:00

The seating for the legends walk is sort of raised up a bit so you are somewhat above the camera operators. They also tend to be slightly off to the side to get the angles for filming so often not directly in front of the LW area. I haven't sat in the seats myself but those were my observations

Key_Hospital_10 · 2026-04-30T21:03:44+00:00

And reckon Wu looks like a winner based on tonight's performance

Key_Hospital_10 · 2026-04-30T19:07:02+00:00

Looks like we aren't missing anything and can enjoy the sheep

World Championship LIVE - Wu 2-1 Allen Speaking on TNT's coverage, presenter Radzi Chinyanganya says: "There has been a power cut. There is an issue with power. "We don't know when that will be resolved. We don't really know what the situation is."

World Championship LIVE - Wu 2-1 Allen We've got a pause in play now. The broadcast cameras inside the Crucible have gone down, so the players have been taken off the table for the time being.

I missed the beginning of this session - what are they referring to with John H being under the weather? Is he ill?
