#392: Peter Wachiuri, Kirsi Viinikainen, Belgian Darts Open, Players Championships and Women's Series Reviews

The Weekly Dartscast

Alex Moss and Burton DeWitt are back with a new episode after the Belgian Darts Open!

The boys start off the show with a look back at the first European Tour event of 2025, and discuss the runner-up Mike De Decker's prospects of being the next player to break the world's top eight in the rankings, before assessing Belgium's chances of hosting a future Premier League Darts night.

Finland's Kirsi Viinikainen (14:46) calls in to reflect on her history-making weekend on the PDC Women's Series. Kirsi looks back on winning Event 5 in Leicester on Saturday and becoming the first player from Scandinavia to win a Women's Series title, as well as chatting about her darts career so far, representing Finland in international events, stepping up to the Women's Series in 2023, making her Lakeside debut last year, and her hopes of qualifying for the Women's World Matchplay for the first time this summer.

Alex and Burton continue their look back at the darts action from the last week, including Kirsi Viinikainen's historic title win on the Women's Series, as well as the latest Players Championship double-header which saw Joe Cullen and Gian van Veen share the titles.

Kenya's Peter Wachiuri (54:25) also stops by to look back on a memorable first trip to the UK. Peter talks through his darts journey so far, from how he first discovered the game in Kenya to making his mark in last year's African Qualifier for the PDC World Darts Championship, where he narrowly missed out on qualifying for Ally Pally. The Kenyan Sensation also looks back on his recent debut at the MODUS Super Series, reaching the weekly final, and outlines his hopes for the rest of 2025 and a potential game one day with Michael van Gerwen!
