Snooker icon Ronnie O'Sullivan agreed with darts star Raymond van Barneveld that a 147 break is tougher than a nine-dart finish.
O'Sullivan has recorded a maximum break on multiple occasions, and holds the record for the fastest ever. He has also recorded more 147s than any other player, bringing up his 15th in 2018, and there have been fewer than 200 maximums in official competition in the history of snooker.
Even fewer have recorded nine-dart finishes in televised events, with the 72nd such achievement taking place in 2023. Even so, stars of both sports believe the snooker achievement is more impressive than the quickest possible darts finish.
