Let's end in China, where 22-year-old snooker star Wu Yize has received a hero's welcome upon returning to his home country. Earlier this week he won the World Snooker Championships held in Sheffield here in the UK, the second year in a row that a Chinese player has won, something that's captured the imagination of fans around the country. China correspondent Stephen McDonnell went to a pool hall in Xi'an for the new world champion's first public appearance since securing the sport's top prize.
His story is also quite inspiring because, I mean, he went really big, obviously, but he never won the title that Wu has now.
22-year-old Wu Yize became the world's latest snooker champion on Monday evening, continuing China's winning streak in the sport.
As you mentioned, it followed another interruption in Wu Yize's semifinal against Mark Allen in the deciding frame amid scenes of phenomenal snooker tension with the players tied at 16 frames all after Allen had missed a simple pot to win the match in the previous frame.
