O'Sullivan beat Trump 18-13 to become the oldest snooker world champion at 46 years and 148 days. Why bother at 46? The sports world should have been the world of young people, such as many sports, which need physical support, and when the age comes up, it basically enters the end of the career. Like Messi and Ronaldo in football, james like basketball, he is obviously older and his physical functions are irreversible.
But snooker is different, just like ginger gets older and hotter. The world championships into the final four, 75 three jie are almost 50 years old to know the destiny of the "senior age", Williams beard, Higgins bald and bright, O'Sullivan is also showing an old state, only 30-year-old Trump is considered to be youthful. But I didn't expect to let the 46-year-old O'Sullivan, give it a beating.
The first few seasons were trump's peak, and as long as O'Sullivan showed a little flaw, Little was killed. Now Trump does not have the long stage skills and patience, and in the absence of accuracy, he still wants to fight. And seriously, O'Sullivan can let go of such an opportunity, coupled with good form, it is normal to lead by a large score. The pressure on O'Sullivan in the final was not even greater than in the semi-finals, after all, Higgins' defense once caused O'Sullivan a headache. Terrier's defense was at least one notch worse than Higgins's, so when he met O'Sullivan, who was serious and in good shape, there was no drama at all.
The first man in snooker history is no longer controversial, winning 21 major three-time championships, 7 world championships, 7 masters champions, and 7 British championship champions. The qualifying champion 39 times, 15 single strokes 147 points, 5 minutes 08 seconds to play a full score, more than 1100 single shots to break the hundred. As early as 17 years, O'Sullivan equaled Hendry's three major championships. In December 2018, O'Sullivan won his 19th Triple Major, surpassing Hendry's record. It was also from 18 years ago that O'Sullivan was considered by many to have surpassed Hendry to become the first man in snooker. Of course, there are opponents, because in the World Championships with the highest gold content in snooker, Hendry dominated with 7 crowns.
But now that O'Sullivan has won the 7th World Championship title and equaled Hendry's World Championship titles, the number of three major championships will become 21 (Hendry 18) and the ranking champion 39 times (Hendry 36), and the first man in snooker history will also be finalized. O'Sullivan's first-man status will be unquestionable.
This world championship O'Sullivan, most of them are big scores slaughter opponents, under the strength and the care of the goddess of luck, it is difficult not to win the championship. And Selby, who he hates the most, was eliminated by the Chinese teenager Yan Bingtao. Snooker can't live without O'Sullivan, a man who treats the game as a kind of performance, and its excitement is unparalleled in the world.
Of course, I also saw some netizens say that when a wolf chases a person, the person's physical fitness will break out beyond the ordinary to escape. When O'Sullivan was short of money, it was pretty much the same. So how much does O'Sullivan have in winning prize money? Prize distribution at this year's Snooker World Championships: £500,000 for the champion, £200,000 for the runner-up, £100,000 for the final four, £50,000 for the quarterfinals, £30,000 for the round of 16, £20,000 for the round of 32. O'Sullivan received a £500,000 (about 4.13 million yuan) prize money.
