In an interview with The Sun, 19-year-old English darts prodigy Luke Little compared himself to his peer Yamal and said he was the best 19-year-old athlete in the world.
Q: Are you the most dominant athlete in the world?
It's hard to say right now, of course. After all, Sinner won Wimbledon. But yes, based on the way I won the matches, the performance I put on, and the titles I've won, I'm probably the best one right now.
Q: Are you the best 19-year-old athlete in the world, Biamamar?
I mean, he didn't really do anything that amazing, did he? He probably only scored one goal and provided one assist in the World Cup (Editor's note: Yamar only scored one goal, no assists, he got it wrong) . Is he the best 19-year-old athlete in the world? No, he isn't! As long as I win games, perform well, and win championships, those are the most important things.
Luke Littler, born on January 21, 2007 in England, is a phenomenal prodigy in the world of professional darts.
He started playing darts at 18 months old, and in 2025, at the age of 17, he won the PDC World Championship, becoming the youngest world champion in darts history. He successfully defended his title in 2026. Currently ranked number one in the world, he has achieved a "Grand Slam" in darts, winning all major televised events by PDC (Professional Darts Corporation) since 2026, and is expected to become the first player in history to win all major titles in a single calendar year.
