In the early morning of April 29, 2024, Beijing time, the main event of the World Snooker Championship ended the 8th day of competition. The World Championships is the highest level of snooker, and there is no player in the history of China and even Asia to win the championship. In this competition, all the professional players of the Chinese Legion went out, and in the end, only 5 appeared in Crucible. In the first round of the main competition, Ding Junhui, Zhang Anda and other famous players were out one after another, and only Si Jiahui advanced to the top 16. In the 1/8 game of the last match day, Si Jiahui lost to Jack Jones 9:13, and so far, the Chinese army was completely wiped out.
Before the start of this competition, O'Sullivan ranked first in the world and Trump ranked second, but since the two are the champions and runners-up of the 2022 World Championships, a large number of points will be deducted at the end of this competition, and if the results of this competition are not good, the world ranking will fall. At present, Trump has successfully advanced to the top 8, and O'Sullivan continues to compete with Ryan Day for the top 8 seats, and the following is the specific situation.
