Darts trailblazer Linda Duffy (formerly Batten) has called on PDC president Barry Hearn to introduce a new Women's World Championship at Alexandra Palace instead of mixing genders
The main conceptual idea of the article is the debate surrounding the inclusion of women in the PDC World Championship. While the PDC has introduced opportunities for women in darts, like the Women’s World Matchplay and Women's Series, there is no separate Women's World Championship. Darts legend Linda Duffy argues that having women compete against men at the prestigious World Championship is unfair and a publicity stunt, calling for a dedicated Women's World Championship instead. Duffy believes that despite darts not being highly physical, the skills required to reach the top level differ between genders.
