Transgender darts star makes history as Noa-Lynn van Leuven becomes first trans player at World Championship at Ally Pally... and wins the first set!
Transgender darts star Noa-Lynn van Leuven made history as she took to the Ally Pally stage on Tuesday in becoming the first-ever trans player to compete at the World Championship.
In October, she made history by becoming the first trans woman to win a PDC Tour event, which secured her place at Ally Pally, and she's described it as being 'the ultimate middle finger' to her critics.
Losing the first leg on throw, it looked like it would be a routine win for Doets, who came close to knocking out then-defending world champion Michael Smith on night one last year.
Up against the odds versus Kevin Doets, she took the first set 3-1 as she pinned double 20, much to the delight of the afternoon crowd.
