If the World Cup has left you hungry for more world championships, can I suggest the World Darts Championship? No. Seriously, hear me out here. The competition is wrapping up today in London, and it has been quite the spectacle. As professional darts players face off for the top prize of half a million pounds, about $600,000, darts fans gather in costume and they drink a lot. Writer Lauren O'Neill covered this championship for Vice, and she joins us now from London. Welcome.

SUMMERS: Good to talk with you, too. OK. So I'm thinking about other sports events that I've gone to. Say, if I'm watching soccer or a basketball game, you can sit back and see the action from pretty far away. But it seems like with something like darts, that wouldn't be the case. So tell us, how interesting is it to watch the game in person? And how close are people getting?

O'NEILL: You would think that it would kind of be impossible to see, but the way that the World Darts Championship is set out kind of makes the case for live darts being one of the most compelling sports you'll ever see in your whole life, amazingly. So we have what they call the oche, which has the dartboard, and that's where the players stand to throw the darts. On either side of that, there are huge screens, essentially. So what we're seeing is a live TV broadcast. We're seeing the close-ups that viewers are seeing on TV. So it does really make for quite a tense spectacle, and the fans really do get into it. There's lots of cheering for some players. There's some jeering. But yeah, in the room, the atmosphere is pretty electric, I have to say, which again, you wouldn't expect, but it's kind of amazing.

O'NEILL: Oh, my God. Of course. I got off the train at the train station closest to the event. I saw these two guys, and they were dressed up as wizards. And I thought, that's quite funny. And then I turned my head to the other side, and I saw about six guys dressed as hot dogs. And I was like, OK, so this is what we're getting into. I talked to a guy on the way up from the station to the event who had come with his friends, and it was very funny, actually. They said that they had come in "Squid Game" costumes because they'd ordered the sweatsuits for a bachelor party. But actually they didn't arrive in time, so they brought them to the darts instead. Like, 18-year-old kids dressed up as the full cast of "The Wizard Of Oz." I saw a guy dressed in a full Spider-Man suit, who was just sitting next to me watching the darts. Yeah, I've seen everything. I've seen it all. There's a big culture of people just wanting to get silly at the darts, and fancy dress is a huge part of that.

O'NEILL: Yeah. I mean, I've been following the action somewhat since I went. I got the bug a little bit. But yeah, I'm very much hoping to go next year - maybe next time maybe not in such a professional capacity. Yeah, I definitely could see myself as a darts convert, for sure.

With each passing year, darts are getting bigger and bigger in the States and you get the feeling that it will only be a matter of time before America has a player capable of winning the World Championship. Canada already has a rich history with the sport and can proudly boast John Part who has won the World Championship three times.

Wright is proving to be difficult to beat. Whether he's averaging 95 or 110, he's a real pain and he very rarely has a bad leg. He doesn't seem to miss six darts at a double to let someone in. If he has a bad visit, it's normally a 60 or 97 - he is maybe more consistent.

The record audience for the final also contributed to a figure for overall reach of over four million viewers who watched the World Championship and related programming on Sky Sports Darts, a dedicated channel for darts which ran from December 18th to January 6th.

THE PDC World Darts Championship was set up in 1994 by the Professional Darts Corporation and quickly replaced its older BDO (British Darts Organisation) rival as the premier world darts event. It has been dominated by Phil "The Power" Taylor who has won it a record 14 times. It is contested in front of packed houses at the Alexandra Palace in London in January every year. 041b061a72
