‘I think his tooth just fell out' – Sky Sports commentator convinced World Cup of Darts star suffered bizarre injury
A WORLD Cup of Darts star celebrated his win so wildly that his TOOTH appeared to fly out of his mouth. Petr Krivka allegedly lost a tooth after Czechia's win over India at the World Cup in Frankfurt as his on-stage celebration took a surprising turn. 4 4 4 Krivka didn't hold back when nailing tops to seal a 4-2 victory and send Group J winner's Czechia through to the last-16 knockout rounds. As Krivka turned around and let out a loud roar, he may have been alarmed to see something white and tooth-sized fly out of his mouth and land on the ground. The world No.147 even had to make his opponents wait a moment longer for the customary post-match handshake while he picked it up off the floor and put the object in his pocket. "What a way to mark your passage through to the last 16! Czechia win it, India go out, and now the celebrations can properly begin for the Czech pair." Fans reacted to the hilarious moment on X, with one saying: 'Nothing surprises you in this tournament, it's absolutely mad.' There has been some confusion about whether Krivka really did lose a tooth, or whether it was just a stray piece of chewing gum. Some fans have even looked into the way it bounced to try and get to the bottom of it as the clip went viral on social media. India were caught up in another viral incident on Friday, after their Chinese Taipei opponents got into a row on stage. Team-mates Pupo Teng-Lieh and An-Sheng Lu were involved in a feisty war of words after the former spurned the chance to tie up the victory with a baffling miscount. 'Pure cinema… darts heritage' - Fans love Chinese Taipei vs India World Cup epic with team-mates 'ready to throw hands' With 38 left, Teng-Lieh hit a single one and then a treble 19 when only a double 19 was required to begin with, before Chinese Taipei won 4-2. Czechia secured their qualification into the second round on Friday, joining Sweden and Switzerland in booking their place. The second round, which begins on Saturday, sees top seeds England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland all enter the competition. All eyes will be on the heavily-fancied England team of Luke Littler and Luke Humphries, as the best two players on the planet look to become world champions together - after battling each other for the last 18 months. 4
