When many sports go on holiday, one pastime really wakes up: darts.
The World Cup in England has become a TV event before and after the holidays, the dart throwers are stars.
The former pub fun has long been a highly commercial affair, the winner collects the equivalent of almost 600,000 euros - a multiple of what a German Olympic champion receives from Sporthilfe for his gold medal.
