Micheal Van Gerwin was in hot form at the recent Keuken Concurrent World Masters as he threw a superb 9 darter against Raymond Van Barneveld in the Semi Finals.

However, even this was not good enough to beat a very modest Raymond Van Barneveld, who could not praise his 17 year old opponent enough after winning by 6 -4.
Barneveld has said that he will need to improve on his fitness if he is to continue competing at the very top and it is interesting to see that Phil Taylor has also embarked on a fitness campaign.
Arguably the 2 best players in the World have seen that the younger guys are not carrying as much weight and can handle the extreme heat of the stage a little better.
Fitter looking Dart players is a great thing for them personally but maybe more so for the global image of darts that is still seen by many as a beer swilling pub game.
