FLINTSHIRE-based Anastasia Dobromyslova will compete in the World Darts Championship after opting to move onto the PDC circuit.
Current BDO Ladies World champion Dobromyslova has taken the final place in the preliminary round of the tournament following the withdrawal of an Indian qualifier, which saw that place awarded to a Russian representative.
The 24-year-old, who was the runner-up in the Winmau World Masters over the weekend, will become only the second female to compete in the PDC World Championship, succeeding Gayl King, who lost 3-1 to Graeme Stoddart in the 2001 event.
"We're delighted that Anastasia has chosen to compete on the Professional Darts Corporation circuit," said PDC chairman Barry Hearn. 09 December 2008 (full article...)
Dobromyslova to compete with men
Anastasia Dobromyslova, the women's world darts champion, will compete with the men at this month's World Championship at Alexandra Palace.
Dobromyslova yesterday quit the British Darts Organisation to join the Professional Darts Corporation, where she will be in the same draw as multiple world championship winners Phil Taylor and Raymond Van Barneveld. The Russian won the BDO women's world title in January and almost produced one of the sport's greatest shocks at last month's Grand Slam of Darts in Wolverhampton.
She hit back from 4-0 down against Wayne Mardle, only to lose 5-4. No woman has beaten a man in a professional event. Dobromyslova follows in the footsteps of the Canadian Gayl King, who became the first woman to compete with men in the world championship in 2000 when she was beaten in the first round. The draw for this year's PDC World Championship takes place today.
