Steve Beaton: 'I've never been on a sunbed. And I've never had a perm'
The 'Bronzed Adonis' Steve Beaton, the last competitive link to the oche's smoky golden age, is laidback before his 33rd year at a world championship.
"You've obviously seen the video of me in the Jacuzzi," Steve Beaton.
The clip in question dates from 1993, and Beaton - then one of the world's greatest darts players - is conducting an interview with the BBC's Dougie Donnelly from the hot tub at the Lakeside Country Club: luscious locks flowing, moustache proud, a gold chain around his neck.
Thus was born the legend of the Bronzed Adonis. For a generation that grew up watching darts in the 1990s, Beaton is one of the last remaining links to that smoky golden age. He was the 1996 British Darts Organisation world champion, an icon of his era, a 6ft 4in tower of suave sophistication and sex appeal. And he may be pushing 60 these days, the curly mane pared sensibly back, the shirt now mostly buttoned up. But somehow the nickname coined early in his career by the commentator Tony Green still fits him perfectly
Steve 'The Bronzed Adonis', Beaton takes a bike ride out to Happisburgh Beach near his home. Beaton will be competing in his 33rd consecutive World Championships at the age of 59.

Steve Beaton: 'I've never been on a sunbed. And I've never had a perm'
The 'Bronzed Adonis' Steve Beaton, the last competitive link to the oche's smoky golden age, is laidback before his 33rd year at a world championship.
"You've obviously seen the video of me in the Jacuzzi," Steve Beaton.
The clip in question dates from 1993, and Beaton - then one of the world's greatest darts players - is conducting an interview with the BBC's Dougie Donnelly from the hot tub at the Lakeside Country Club: luscious locks flowing, moustache proud, a gold chain around his neck.
Thus was born the legend of the Bronzed Adonis. For a generation that grew up watching darts in the 1990s, Beaton is one of the last remaining links to that smoky golden age. He was the 1996 British Darts Organisation world champion, an icon of his era, a 6ft 4in tower of suave sophistication and sex appeal. And he may be pushing 60 these days, the curly mane pared sensibly back, the shirt now mostly buttoned up. But somehow the nickname coined early in his career by the commentator Tony Green still fits him perfectly
Steve 'The Bronzed Adonis', Beaton takes a bike ride out to Happisburgh Beach near his home. Beaton will be competing in his 33rd consecutive World Championships at the age of 59.

Noa-Lynn van Leuven: 'I think darts is helping me to be the best of myself'
Dutch darts player will become first trans woman to play in a televised PDC tournament after long road back to a sport she loves.
Before everything that happened, before the desolation and the despair, before life changed for ever, there was a set of darts. Her parents gave them to her at the age of eight, and when she picked them up she felt a rare and powerful contentment. She threw and she threw. She threw her way into the Netherlands youth team. She devoured Raymond van Barneveld games on television. She dreamed of playing professionally, travelling the world, her name on the big screen. She was Noa-Lynn van Leuven, even if nobody called her that yet.
Van Leuven realised this was going to be a small problem when she won the Denmark Open in May.
After she won the final they had a presentation where the other players came on stage, and that was the moment she knew something was up. Some of the players didn’t want her there. She saw them talking to each other. If people don't agree with the rules, that's OK with her. But she doesn't think you should do it on stage.
The leading female players such as Greaves and Sherrock are fine with her participation, she says. The problem is more with the players she keeps beating.

Before everything that happened, before the desolation and the despair, before life changed for ever, there was a set of darts. Her parents gave them to her at the age of eight, and when she picked them up she felt a rare and powerful contentment. She threw and she threw. She threw her way into the Netherlands youth team. She devoured Raymond van Barneveld games on television. She dreamed of playing professionally, travelling the world, her name on the big screen. She was Noa-Lynn van Leuven, even if nobody called her that yet.
Van Leuven realised this was going to be a small problem when she won the Denmark Open in May.
After she won the final they had a presentation where the other players came on stage, and that was the moment she knew something was up. Some of the players didn’t want her there. She saw them talking to each other. If people don't agree with the rules, that's OK with her. But she doesn't think you should do it on stage.
The leading female players such as Greaves and Sherrock are fine with her participation, she says. The problem is more with the players she keeps beating.
