Snooker star Stuart Bingham injures himself awkwardly on live TV, grimacing in pain.
During the World Grand Prix, snooker player Stuart Bingham faced a challenging moment after injuring himself while attempting a shot. Despite the discomfort, Bingham managed to rally from a 4-2 deficit against Mark Selby, ultimately winning 5-4 in a thrilling final frame. The incident occurred when Bingham, a former world champion, was executing a long pot across the table and felt a sharp twinge in his leg. As he leaned over the middle cushion to successfully sink a difficult red ball, he experienced discomfort in his standing leg.
Upon returning to an upright position, Bingham grimaced and made efforts to stretch and ease the discomfort, focusing particularly on his groin. The crowd applauded his successful shot, and the commentator remarked on his apparent mishap. With a smile and a light-hearted attitude, Bingham acknowledged the crowd’s reaction and returned to his seat, taking a moment to drink water and compose himself.
Despite his injury, the world number 23 displayed remarkable resilience, launching a comeback and securing victory against Selby. Following this win, Bingham is set to face Judd Trump in the next round, having already defeated both Mark Williams and Wu Yize earlier in the tournament. Trump advanced to the semifinals with a commanding 5-0 win over Hossein Vafaei, while other semifinal matchups include Shaun Murphy against Neil Robertson.
