Thrilling Showdown: German Darts Pair Faces Darts Legend Paul Lim
World Cup Competition: Dart-Playing Duo Challenged by Elderly Opponent, a 71-Year-Old Player - Darts pair encounters 71-year-old competitor at World Championships
Get ready to witness an enthralling spectacle of darts as the 71-year-old veteran Paul Lim, nicknamed "Singapore Slinger," squares off against the young German duo of Martin Schindler and Ricardo Pietreczko at the World Cup of Darts in Frankfurt this Friday night (approx. 22:45 CET/DAZN). Joining his compatriot Phuay Wei Tan, Singapore aims to bring an end to Germany's home-turf party!
Schindler (28) and Pietreczko (30) express admiration for the tenacity of darts legend Lim, who continues to compete at the top level. "He's a legend of our sport. His longevity in the game at that age is impressive. If I can achieve that, I'll be overjoyed," shared Pietreczko following their 4-2 win over Portugal in the opening round.
Lim's legacy, however, hasn't forged a close bond between him and the German pair. "We don't have a direct connection," explained Schindler with a laugh. But the 71-year-old's impact on the sport should not distract them from advancing to the knockout stage. Top nations like England, with their world champion Luke Littler at the helm, won't enter the tournament until later.
