Sir Chris Hoy tells Christian Kist 'you will help save thousands of lives' as Olympic hero lauds 'special' nine darter

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Sir Chris Hoy says darts ace Christian Kist has saved “thousands of lives” with his perfect Ally Pally leg. The Dutch star smacked a nine-darter during his defeat to Madars Razma on Wednesday night.

BIGGER 180 ambassador Hoy has congratulated Kist for triggering the £180,000 Paddy Power bonus. As well as the player collecting £60,000 for the achievement, one lucky random fan named Kris, a 28-year-old from Sutton, got another £60,000.

Most importantly, another £60,000 went to Prostate Cancer UK. Hoy, who announced two months ago that his cancer is terminal, is scheduled at the Ally Pally on Finals night to give out the Ballon d’Art trophy which the sponsors are awarding to the player who has the most 180s through the showpiece event.

But, on Kist’s stellar work, Hoy said: “A huge well done to Christian. What he did will help save thousands of lives.“This money will go on to fund Prostate Cancer UK’s revolutionary screening trial TRANSFORM and every pound raised through the BIGGER 180 campaign is crucial.
