Two moments at the Darts got everyone talking

Devon Petersen, take a bow.

The South African darts player was in a typically relaxed mood prior to his clash with English 23rd seed Darren Webster in the first round of the World Darts Championship in Alexander Palace on Thursday night. The 31-year-old Capetown native, known as the African Warrior, is held in affection in the darts world due to his relaxed demeanour and his slick dance moves. He danced onto the stage to the tune of Shakira's famous belter, "Waka Waka, (This time for Africa)" and he really did steal the show. The man was enjoying himself, he soaked in the moment and made it his business to high five almost every member of the Ally Pally crowd on his entrance. https://twitter.com/OfficialPDC/status/943951803908988928 He doesn't shy away from the spotlight, and he was lapping it up as he made his way to centre stage. He busted some slick dance moves, wowing the crowd with his simple but effective movements. https://twitter.com/RoelofWijnsma/status/943949698674683905 Those watching on were in awe. https://twitter.com/DMTkeepers/status/943950252905811968 https://twitter.com/CarlMcCallig/status/943950220580282369 https://twitter.com/GregKerr_1/status/943950105903816709 https://twitter.com/PNEFC_Robg/status/943950056926916613 https://twitter.com/AshCloke/status/943949777124909057 Earlier in the night, another moment stole the show. 18th seed Kim Huybrechts was knocked out by James Richardson in a straight sets victory... https://twitter.com/OfficialPDC/status/943947059840761856 And the crowd loved it. https://twitter.com/therealnicko91/status/943948916927680513?ref_src=twcamp%5Eshare%7Ctwsrc%5Eios%7Ctwgr%5Ecom.tinyspeck.chatlyio.share
