Health issues for the world snooker champion

According to The Sun: World snooker champion Zhao Xintong spoke about the difficulties he faces due to an illness that prevents him from seeing the other end of the table clearly. Zhao became the first world champion from China in May, defeating snooker legend Ronnie O'Sullivan in the semifinals, and then winning the final against Mark Williams with a score of 18-12.

“I work hard to overcome this problem, but it is not easy,” he admitted.

Despite his young age, 28-year-old Zhao had high hopes from fans and experts, but now he finds it difficult to concentrate on the game due to health problems.

This situation highlights the importance of athletes' health, as even the most talented can face serious challenges. Zhao continues to fight for his place on the professional snooker scene, and his journey will be interesting to follow in the future.
