2022 was the year of Michael Smith's career. Not only did he win his first major, and then the world's, and now this. Absolutely majestic! 👏👏👏

[@example2844]

I've rewatched this so many times already, I'm so honoured to have seen this. I can't get over how phenomenal this was

[@MJRYT19]

Well said actually amazing 👍

[@yusufluhar5881]

I must be on like my 50th time or maybe even more, i cant stop im addicted to this video. We r all lucky to have witnessed the best leg of darts ever in history. I only started watching last year and ive seen this. Imagine all those who have been watching for years and years and they see this, it must be absolutely beautiful.

[@gynandroidhead]

Most darts fans have watched so many times because it's that good.

[@David-pg3ux]

Just 3 days in to 2023 and we already have had the best moment of the year. This was amazing.

[@joesykes4226]

i cannot stop watching this, i literally cant.. the tension is just incredible!

[@talk2birds128]

I love Wayne Mardle’s reaction..C’MONN NOW! I cannot SPAKE..I CANNOT SPAKE!!😁Just brilliant...such a Rocky moment .. it had everything! This is the best sporting moment I’ve seen in years and by far the best Darts moment ever! It gives you hope that maybe everything is alright with the world again. Love love loved it. Well done to both for making an incredible final and that double 12 ... Go Smith! Congratulations Smith.👏 🏆

[@richardmalton4985]

Mardle all but ruined it by yacking his usual brand of tedious nonsense over the first 3 or 4 throws. It was like he wasn't watching. He never shuts up.

[@yusufluhar5881]

I cant stop watching this, its been over 50 times now surely and i just cant stop, everytime i see it on my KZbin recommendations i watch it like 2-3 times

Come back to re-visit this from time to time, won't ever find another 1m 30s clip of any other sport that is more hype

[@vinaypatel819]

This leg is literally The G.L.O.A.T! It will never be matched for years to come, pure entertainment, excitement, the crowd were electric and the commentators were insane, this video will become an iconic and nostalgic moment for years to come! I wished I was there to see this! Well done to Michael Smith, such a humble man and Van Gerwen for giving him a great final 👍🏾👌🏾❤️

Every now and then, may be when I’ve had a bad day, I put this clip on and always always feel better, one of the best moments in any sport, period!

[@Bb-ez1rn]

This was one of the best and craziest World Championship‘s ever. We had Clemens as the first german guy in semi finals, a perfect leg in the darts final which led to darts history , a new World Champion - and on top if this Gerwyn Price with his headphones. A World Championship we will always remember.

@@hansigrossini3123 pretty impressive to add even more stupid on top of something already so stupid. Firstly, the original comment isn't referring to the trophy, it's referring to the entire tournament as the 'World Cup'. Secondly, the World Cup of Darts is an entirely different tournament (as mentioned above). Mate.

Goosebumps even after the hundredth watch. Love that MVG gives him a little hand gesture before bully boys final throw. Makes you feel alive

Could watch this on repeat and get the same goosebumps every single time. Just insane darts 🎯

[@ast2467]

The occasion, The scoring, the precision from both men. The crowd reactions, the now iconic commentary. Every single bit was absolutely immense! Greatest couple of minutes in darting history

[@kevinlaws3843]

I’ve just watched that 50 times in a row, unbelievable play, commentary and crowd reaction.

[@1120PHZ]

I have never seen a 9-darter live before and was pissed off. Now after this 9-darter in the best leg of all time i am so happy and can't believe this really happened.

Oh, I wasn't the only one that didn't saw a 9-darter live, I just freaked out with my dad when Smith got D12
