Wu Yize, the second Chinese player to win the world snooker title after Zhao Xintong, has an incredible story. Rob Walker, broadcaster and master of ceremonies for World Snooker, tells CGTN about the sacrifices of Wu, plus why China's snooker players are ruling the world.

Wu defeated former champion Shaun Murphy 18-17 in a dramatic World Snooker Championship final at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield, England. The 22-year-old sealed victory with a break of 85 in the deciding frame, becoming the second-youngest world champion in Crucible's history.
