Van Gerwen beaten in World Cup final, Littler youngest champion ever: ‘Every 17 years a great is born’

It is unbelievable but true: a 17-year-old Englishman, born on January 21, 2007, is the youngest darts world champion ever. Luke ‘The Nuke’ Littler left little damage to Michael van Gerwen (35) on Friday evening, who saw his dream of a fourth world title shattered in a hard way: 7-3. “I dare say it now: every 17 years a phenomenon is born,” Van Gerwen resigned himself to his fate.
