Nathan Aspinall Advances in World Darts Championship

The 2025 World Darts Championship is currently underway at Ally Pally, captivating sports fans during the holiday season. Notable upsets have occurred, with top seeds like Michael Smith and Gary Anderson being eliminated early, while favorites including Luke Littler and Michael van Gerwen remain in contention for the title. A highlight from the tournament involved Nathan Aspinall, who paused his match against Andrew Gilding to watch a fan down a four-pint pitcher of beer, leading to cheers and later boos as the fan was ejected by security. Despite the distraction, Aspinall secured a 4-0 victory and will face Ricardo Pietreczko in the next round. Aspinall expressed amusement over the incident, noting he was intrigued by the fan's feat, reminiscent of dart player Dave Chisnall. The tournament continues to provide an exciting atmosphere for both players and fans alike.
