O'Sullivan successfully broke the record of winning the British Championship
Before the appearance of O'Sullivan, there had never been a player who won seven championships in the British Championship, but the appearance of O'Sullivan obviously changed the history of the British Championship.
In 1993, O'Sullivan defeated Stephen Hendry in the British Championship to win the first championship trophy of his career, and became the youngest champion in the British Championship.
Today, 30 years later, O'Sullivan defeated Ding Junhui, a Chinese brother who performed well in this British Championship, with a performance of 10-7, to win the eighth British Championship championship in his career, thus becoming the oldest champion in the British Championships.
And this also means that O'Sullivan once again broke his own record and became the most legendary great player in the British Championship. However, the legendary golfer's career is not over, and he still has more opportunities to rewrite snooker history.
O'Sullivan has set a number of snooker records
After successfully winning the eighth crown of the British Championship, O'Sullivan successfully unlocked a number of snooker historical records. First of all, O'Sullivan is the first player to complete eight crowns in the British Championship and 22 titles in three major tournaments, and such a record seems to be difficult to break at present.
Secondly, O'Sullivan also refreshed his ranking record of winning the tournament from the previous 39 to 40 titles, which is also the 78th tour title of his career. Thirdly, O'Sullivan is also the first and only player to win the World Championship and the British Championship after the age of 47.
In addition, O'Sullivan will continue to hold the No. 1 position in the world, and the gap between him and Trump has widened to 221,500 pounds. And this also means that O'Sullivan will have a chance to break the great record held by Hendry for the longest time in the world No. 1 ranking.
After winning the British Championship, world No. 1 O'Sullivan proved that he still has the ability to create more miracles, and his legend continues.
