Day 8 - Final Darts: World Championships

Eric Bristow, Phil Taylor, Ted Hankey, John Watson, Andy Fordham,

Martin Adams, Mark Webster, and no, in 2012, either Christian Kist or

Tony O'Shea. Game, shot and the set, Tony O'Shea.

Game, shot and the set, Christian Good evening. The stage is set for

the BDO World Dante -- BDO World Championship final. With me, Bobby

George. I cannot remember our final where it was so hard to choose a

winner. It is very hard to choose a winner. They have the same averages.

They have the same checkout rate. The only difference is their age.

One is 25, won his 50. You also have a guy who has been here many

years, against a guy who has never been here before. The experience

does help, because you know what to expect, but Kist does not get

bothered by that. In this crowd, they have taken Tony O'Shea to

their hearts. Will apply at actor? It will not all that the other guy.

He just gets on with his darts. has been unbelievable. Christian

Kist is a debutant at the Lakeside, but from his very first 180 he has

looked every bit the champion. Tony O'Shea, we all know them and love

him, but we did not think he would be the King of the Lakeside in 2012.

from both players. What a champion in waiting this guy could be.

What comes out at you? Obviously, the age difference. The average is

not much. I'd say that, at little to choose. The checkout success is

even. Tony O'Shea has �3,000 for the highest checkout in his pocket.

But he wants the �100,000. What should really cared for at home? --

Tony, Tony, you had a chance, and you know it. Christian Kist has the

six times each. It is looking gives you that confidence. It

started off nervous, but it has come to life now. He has the right

mental attitude, this man. He does not think very often about what is

going on, does not acknowledge the pressure on his shoulders. That

it from here. I have seen it happen before but I would agree with you.

Game, shot and the set, Christian Kist. It is 4-2 in sets! It's the

break! Goodbye from me. Christian Kist is three sets from

the BDO title. Tony O'Shea will lead 5. How important were those

moments when it Tony O'Shea needed the doubles? At the start,

Christian Kist, it was the star famine. He follows his first dart

with another good one, if not, it is the same place. He was falling

short. When he gets the darts above the treble 20, he follows it

through. That can be nerves. When you are nervous, you play

differently. With Tony O'Shea we see and you find determination,

when he needed this finish, he got it. What does this say about his

character? He will not lie down. is a very difficult man to beat.

When he is behind, he is very dangerous. He takes a deep breath,

then he goes straight into the double. The Croad absolutely love

this. -- crowd. The difference has been when Kist has needed a big

moment he has delivered. He does not seem to fear anything, I do not

think he thinks about how far he is in front. It is a great thing to do.

In the 4th set, they all went to sleep a little bit. Kist changed

the game completely. This 140 is the reason he goes 10 ahead. He

feels no pressure. This man would not be denied. The Bull's eye. Here

90 to be anywhere near Kist. All through the matches, he levels the

averages. Tony's scoring has been OK, but he has only had one 180.

Fortitude to Christian Kist. We were not sure what to expect coming

in, there has been some fantastic moments. What was your highlight?

The moment when Ted Hankey lost it, he threw his darts everywhere,

Christian Kist ignored it and went up and banged in 140. The ladies

deserve a mention. It has been absolutely compulsive viewing.

There has been a bit of needle, good darts. It was the best from

the women we have ever had. I have to mention Chuck Norris, one dark a

way. -- one dart away. He has not stop talking about it. We are going

backstage to rob Walker. He is with the partners of the finalists.

It is agony for the ladies watching. Gill, you have been here before, is

it easier or harder? Definitely harder. Simply because he has been

there and done it, he knows what it is about. Everyone expects him to

do it. How has he been feeling? Has he been quiet, or confident?

stayed away from them. I am letting him get on with it. He is under

pressure, has he got what it takes? I hope so. Keith wide, I understand

you have been trying to get tickets. -- Kirsten. Yes, I was trying to

get 24 tickets, it was crazy today. Everybody has been impressed by how

relaxed Christian Kist is. As the pressure mounted, he remains very

calm. Has he maintained his composure? He is still really

relaxed. I do not understand. Ladies, we are in for an epic

climax, this will be cracking. This room is about to erupt again

because Tony O'Shea is coming back onto the stage. What does he need

to do to turn this around? It is not too bad, it he is only two sets

down. He can come back. The next time you hear from Bobby George and

me, we will have the name of the 22 lb deal world champion. -- 2012 BDO

Adams, he still had two matches to win. Well Christian Kist let

win. Well Christian Kist let choose in the state of the averages

way he has done in other matches from the start, but his doubles are

he beat Martin Adams, he played really well. In this one, he had

chances, but that little bed at the end was a bit stronger. At this

stage, at we wondered if we were going to see the greatest comeback

on the Lakeside stage ever. But we know who the winner is, Christian

Kist. He is a lovely man. He has a lovely future. This man kept his

head when everyone was losing their heads. Can you talk us through that

epic match? TRANSLATED: He says there was no problem when I was in

front but then Tony came back and the nerves came. He is very happy

he took the last set. Many can gradually oceans. You are the world

They will need more remain the back seat, they are taking the most

famous trophy in the world back to Holland. To see a young man there

do that, this will get lots of children playing darts. You are

absolutely right. With Dutch players coming here, what does this

mean going forward, Wesley Harms in the semi-final, Jan Dekker, Geert

De Vos, him as well. The young players over they're, they will put

some money into the youth players. We have just seen Christian Kist

with tears in his eyes. We did not see any of that. He has got some

bottle. He must be over the moon. He worked hard. You cannot say he

got lucky. He played proper darts under that pressure. Every game he

played well. A word for Tony O'Shea. What a great fighter. You can never

say you one until you hear the last game, at shot and match. Absolutely

the correct finalists. The two people who made this tournament.

They worked very hard. You do not get to the final if you cannot play
