Transgender darts star makes history as Noah-Lynn van Leuven makes mark at World Darts Championship Noa-Lynn van Leuven made history at the World Championship debut despite losing in the first round at Alexandra Palace.
There were also loud cheers as Van Leuven won her first leg of the game which continued as she sealed the first set of the match.
The fourth went to a decider, with Van Leuven throwing six perfect darts in the penultimate leg, before Doets clinched the game.

The 28-year-old made history during Tuesday afternoon’s session at the PDC World Darts Championships by becoming the first-ever transgender player to appear at the tournament.
