☆ World Snooker Championship: The near-silent sport which has become the latest focus of Saudi Arabia’s imagination
  + stars: | 2024-05-05 | by ( Ben Church | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +11 min
CNN —No one dares speak louder than a whisper as nearly 1,000 people respectfully take their seats inside the dimly lit Crucible Theatre. They’ve come to witness the nerve-shredding, silently electric atmosphere of the World Snooker Championship. The World Snooker Tour (WST) – organizers of the World Snooker Championship – say the sport is watched by half-a-billion people around the world. The Crucible Theatre has been the home of the World Snooker Championships since 1977. Saudi Arabia’s pursuit of snooker should not be surprising, but moving the World Snooker Championship would be an emotional decision for many of its fans.

This golden ball will be worth 20 points but will only be pottable on completing a maximum break.

The 47-year-old Englishman risks sanctions from the World Snooker Tour if he misses events to participate in tournaments in China. When I go to China I play in great venues, great crowds, great prize money. "If that gets to the point where I'm not able to do that or I'm not allowed to do that, then I probably won't play. I'll probably go and play Chinese 8 ball (pool) because I still want to play snooker. Reuters has contacted the World Snooker Tour for comment.

☆ Belgium's Brecel holds off Selby to win world title
  + stars: | 2023-05-01 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +3 min
May 1 (Reuters) - Belgium's Luca Brecel became the first player from mainland Europe to win the snooker world title as he completed a fairytale fortnight by resisting a Mark Selby fightback to triumph 18-15 at The Crucible on Sunday. Brecel enjoyed a 9-8 overnight lead after Saturday's two sessions, but won the opening four frames on Sunday with three centuries to seize command. Selby looked on a roll but fearless Brecel would not be denied the title which lifts him second in the world rankings. After that win he said he had celebrated beating another former champion, Mark Williams, in the previous round by getting as 'drunk as hell'. While Brecel celebrated becoming Belgium's latest and most unlikely sporting hero, Selby, 39, had the consolation of making the first 147 break ever in the final of the world championship, his maximum coming during a storming fightback on Saturday.
