  • Sporting Legends: Stephen Hendry
    SPORTING LEGENDS: STEPHEN HENDRY SPORT: SNOOKER COMPETITIVE ERA: 1984 - PRESENT Stephen Hendry MBE (born January 13, 1969, Auchterarder, Perthshire, Scotland) is a Scottish professional snooker player. Hendry has won the World Snooker Championships seven times, a record for the modern era, and is thus regarded by many as the greatest player of all time. Hendry started his career early. He was Scottish Amateur Champion at the age of 15, and turned professional aged just 16. Hendry first won the World Professional Snooker Championship in 1990 at the age of 21, becoming the youngest player ever to win the event. He went on to dominate the game in the 1990s. His most recent win in 1999 was his seventh, eclipsing rival Steve Davis's six modern era victories. Hendry holds several snooker records: He has earned more prize money than any other player (about £7 million); he has scored the most 147s (eight times), and is the only player to have scored a 147 in a major final, a feat he has achieved three times. He has compiled the most century breaks, currently over 660, and he holds the most ranking event titles (34). In 1990/1991, despite not winning the World Championships, he won an amazing five ranking events, a record for a single season. Hendry was ranked number 1 from 1990 to 1998 in a record breaking 8 season streak. Hendry was awarded an MBE in 1994 and voted BBC Scotland's Sports Personality of the Year in 1987 and 1996. SPORTING LEGENDS: STEPHEN HENDRY Stephen Hendry is a true snooker legend.

  • Snooker Superstar
    Snooker Superstar 1 Snooker Superstar 台球巨星 Star Profile – Ding Junhui 新星简介--丁俊辉 Read the text below and do the activity that follows. 阅读下面的短文,然后完成练习: If 2005 was the year that Ding Junhui exploded onto the international snooker scene, then 2006 could be the year he becomes a legend. Ding fulfilled his potential in a nail-biting confrontation with Steve Davis in the final of the prestigious UK Championship last December. He defeated the six-time world champion by 10 frames to 6 in a thrilling final at the Barbican Centre in York. In defeating Davis he has already secured a place in history as he is the first ever player from outside the British Isles to win the UK Championship. Having won his first prize in competitive snooker at the age of thirteen, Ding is unquestionably a precocious talent. It seems that he has now matured into a world-class player – “It was only a matter of time before he joined the world’s elite”, says Steve Davis. Ding’s talent has been developed by his father, Ding Wenjun who became aware of his son’s remarkable abilities when he was just eight years old. Ding Wenjun explains, “When I was playing with my friends, he was attracted by the colourful balls and would play by himself on another table for a whole day”. Many years of hard work and sacrifice followed as Ding’s father gave up his business and moved to Dongguan in order to find better training facilities for his son. Both father and son lived in cramped conditions, sharing a five- square-metre room adjoining the local snooker club.

  • Ronnie O?Sullivan
    Ressort: Sport-Nachrichten Eintausend Mal die Hundert: Ronnie O?Sullivan Preston, 11.03.2019 [ENA] Der Engländer hat im Preston Guild Hall, einmal mehr, Geschichte geschrieben: im letzten Frame des Coral Players Championship gewann er nicht nur den Titel. Er erzielte in seiner zuvor schon als beispiellos bezeichneten Karriere das 1.000ste Century-Break. Damit wird im Snooker das Übertreffen der Marke von 100 Punkten in einem Durchgang bezeichnet. Zugleich ist er heute wieder auf Rang 2 der Zwei-Jahres-Rangiste. Seine Profi-Karriere begann 1992. Zusammen mit Mark Williams und John Higgins gehört Ronnie O‘Sullivan eben deshalb der „Class of 92“ an, einem Jahrgang, der besonders viele Talente hervorgebracht hatte. Im Verlauf seiner nunmehr 26 Jahre währenden Karriere - welche er schon mehrfach für beendet erklärte, nur um etwas später wieder zurück zu kehren - erreichte er Höhen, die Kommentatoren ihn als den vollendetsten Spieler der modernen Ära bezeichnen liessen: er hält Rekorde, die vor ihm keiner erreicht hatte. Dem schnellsten Maximum-Break, jenen magischen 147 Punkten, die man in einem Spiel erreichen kann, in dem man alle 15 roten und die 6 farbigen Bälle in einem Durchgang abräumt. Bisher hat er davon sowohl die meisten geschafft, nämlich 15, wie auch den schnellsten, in knapp 5 Minuten. O‘Sullivan hält auch die meisten sog. Triple Crown Titel. Triple Crown bezeichnet die traditionell grössten Snooker-Turniere auf englischen Boden, die Weltmeisterschaften, die English Championship und das Masters. Ronnie hat davon 19, damit liegt er alleine an der Spitze vor Stephen Hendry. Insgesamt haben nur 10 Spieler es geschafft, alle drei Tourniere mindestens ein Mal zu gewinnen.

  • Some Say That There Are Actually Four Players from Outside the U.K
    Some say that there are actually four players from outside the U.K. that have been World Champion citing Australian Horace Lindrum, a nephew of Walter, who won the title in 1952. This event was boycotted by all the British professional players that year and for this reason many in the sport will not credit him with the achievement. The other three to make the list are first, Cliff Thorburn from Canada in 1980, defeating Alex Higgins 18 frames to 16. He also made the first 147 maximum break of the World Championships in his 1983 second round match against Terry Griffiths which he won 13 – 12. Third was Neil Robertson who won a never to be forgotten final against Scot Graeme Dott 18 frames to 13 in 2010. His route to the final had started with a match against Fergal O’Brien which he won 10 – 5. Next up was a heart stopping, come from behind win over Martin Gould after trailing 0 – 6 and again 5 – 11 before getting over the line 13 – 12. Steve Davis, multiple World Champion, was next and dispatched 13 – 5 which brought him to the semi finals and a 17 – 12 victory over Ali (The Captain) Carter. Third here but really second on the list is Ken Doherty from Eire who won the World title by beating Stephen Hendry, multiple World Champion winner from Scotland, at the Crucible in 1997 winning 18 - 12. Ken had previously become the I.B.S.F. amateur World Champion in 1989 by defeating Jon Birch of England 11 frames to 2 in the final held in Singapore.
