Der erste Tag der UK Championship in York verlief relativ unspektakulär. Letztlich setzen sich alle Gesetzten ziemlich souverän durch. Am nächsten an eine Überraschung kam Stephen Maguire heran, der Judd Trump immerhin zu einem 4:6 bringen konnte. Si Jiahui (6:0 gegen Ryan Day), John Higgins (6:2 gegen Ben Woollaston) und Shaun Murphy (ebenfalls 6:2 gegen Lyu Haotian) konnten hingegen weitgehend ungefährdete Siege feiern, obwohl Higgins und Murphy mehr kämpfen mussten, als es das Ergebnis vermuten lässt. Kathi und Chris sprechen über den Auftakt in das erste Triple-Crown-Event der Saison.

fWotD Episode 3127: Terry Griffiths Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Wednesday, 26 November 2025, is Terry Griffiths.Terence Martin Griffiths (16 October 1947 – 1 December 2024) was a Welsh professional snooker player, coach and pundit. After winning several amateur titles, including the Welsh Amateur Championship in 1975 and back-to-back English Amateur Championships in 1977 and 1978, Griffiths turned professional in June 1978 at the age of 30. Griffiths's second professional event was the 1979 World Snooker Championship, which he reached as a qualifier. After beating Alex Higgins in the quarter-finals and Eddie Charlton in the semi-finals, he defeated Dennis Taylor in the final by 24 frames to 16, becoming only the second qualifier to win the World Snooker Championship, after Higgins in 1972; only Shaun Murphy in 2005 and Zhao Xintong in 2025 have since emulated the achievement. In 1988, Griffiths reached a second World Championship final. He was tied at 8–8 with Steve Davis but lost the match 11–18.Griffiths reached at least the quarter-finals of the World Championship for nine consecutive years, from 1984 to 1992. He also won the Masters in 1980 and the UK Championship in 1982, completing snooker's Triple Crown. Griffiths was runner-up at the Masters three times and reached the final of the 1989 European Open, where he lost the deciding frame to John Parrott.Although he also won several other tournaments, Griffiths's determination to match his rival Davis led to changes in technique which commentators said cost him his natural flair for playing. He retired from the professional tour in 1996 to become the World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association's director of coaching. During his coaching career, he worked with leading players including Stephen Hendry, Mark Williams and Ding Junhui. After a lengthy battle with dementia, Griffiths died in December 2024, aged 77.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:15 UTC on Wednesday, 26 November 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Terry Griffiths on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Kajal.

Das Wort Favoritensterben war selten angebrachter als bei der Qualifikation für die UK Championship von York. Mit Luca Brecel, Jack Lisowski, Chris Wakelin, Ali Carter und Jak Jones schieden gleich mehrere große Namen bereits vor der letzten Runde aus. Die beiden Judgement Days in Wigan bieten damit großes Potential für die eine oder andere Quali-Überraschung, die es bis nach York schaffen könnte. Noah und Christian fassen das Geschehen in Wigan zusammen und blicken auf die letzte Quali-Runde voraus.

Nostalgic episode of the podcast in more ways than one. Not only is it more than two hours long, we've even chucked in some lovable connection issues for you. It's a monster episode here, and leading the way is a terrific appearance from Daniel Wells. There's so much good stuff from Daniel, including his memories of spending time with various Welsh snooker icons, how hurt he was was by negative comments made by Ronnie O'Sullivan, not having an alcoholic drink for over a year, a first ever appearance at the Crucible and his hopes for the future. We also reflect on a superb success for Mark Selby at the Champion of Champions, look ahead to UK qualifying, round up the rest of the snooker news and read out your very kind messages as we celebrate our fifth anniversary. We very much appreciate you being there during our half a decade on the air. It's been a memorable journey for us. The story of the podcast will go on, and we'll return next week to look ahead to the main stages of one of the sport's greatest events, the UK Championship.

Xiao Guodong hat seinen ersten Weltranglistentitel aus dem Vorjahr erfolgreich verteidigt und bei den Wuhan Open erneut triumphiert. Im Finale setzte sich der Chinese mit 10:9 gegen Gary Wilson durch. Nach einer schwachen ersten Session führte Xiao mit 5:4, wurde am Abend aber relativ schnell von einem stärker spielenden Wilson abgehängt. Mit 6:8 lag der Titelverteidiger zwischenzeitlich hinten, ehe er selbst einen Gang hochschaltete und den Engländer noch mit 10:9 abfing. Auch zum ersten Event der Q Tour, zur UK Championship der Frauen und zu Neuigkeiten zur neuen Spielervereinigung äußern sich Kathi und Chris. +++ WERBUNG +++Ghost of Yōtei - das Action-Adventure - exklusiv für PS5 ab 2.

fWotD Episode 2660: Snooker Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia’s finest articles.The featured article for Friday, 16 August 2024 is Snooker.Snooker (pronounced UK: SNOO-kər, US: SNUUK-ər) is a cue sport played on a rectangular billiards table covered with a green cloth called baize, with six pockets: one at each corner and one in the middle of each long side. First played by British Army officers stationed in India in the second half of the 19th century, the game is played with twenty-two balls, comprising a white cue ball, fifteen red balls and six other balls—a yellow, green, brown, blue, pink and black—collectively called 'the colours'. Using a snooker cue, the individual players or teams take turns to strike the cue ball to pot other balls in a predefined sequence, accumulating points for each successful pot and for each foul committed by the opposing player or team. An individual frame of snooker is won by the player who has scored the most points, and a snooker match ends when a player reaches a predetermined number of frames.In 1875, army officer Neville Chamberlain, stationed in India, devised a set of rules that combined black pool and pyramids. The word snooker was a well-established derogatory term used to describe inexperienced or first-year military personnel. In the early 20th century, snooker was predominantly played in the United Kingdom, where it was considered a "gentleman's sport" until the early 1960s before growing in popularity as a national pastime and eventually spreading overseas. The standard rules of the game were first established in 1919 when the Billiards Association and Control Club was formed. As a professional sport, snooker is now governed by the World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association.The World Snooker Championship first took place in 1927, and Joe Davis—a key figure and pioneer in the early growth of the sport—won fifteen successive world championships between 1927 and 1946. The "modern era" of snooker began in 1969 after the broadcaster BBC commissioned the television series Pot Black, later airing daily coverage of the World Championship which was first televised in 1978. The most prominent players of the modern era are Ray Reardon (1970s), Steve Davis (1980s) and Stephen Hendry (1990s), each winning at least six world titles. Since 2000, Ronnie O'Sullivan has won the World Championship seven times, most recently in 2022. Top professional players compete in regular tournaments around the world, earning millions of pounds on the World Snooker Tour—a circuit of international events featuring competitors of many different nationalities. The World Championship, the UK Championship and the Masters together make up the Triple Crown Series and are considered by many players to be the most highly valued titles. The main professional tour is open to both male and female players, and there is a separate women's tour organised by World Women's Snooker. Competitive snooker is also available to non-professional players, including seniors and people with disabilities. The popularity of snooker has led to the creation of many variations based on the standard game but with different rules or equipment, including six-red snooker, the short-lived "snooker plus" and the more recent Snooker Shoot Out version.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:02 UTC on Friday, 16 August 2024.For the full current version of the article, see Snooker on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Matthew.
