player hossein vafaei following his world championship first—round defeat yesterday. vafaei said that the crucible — the venue in sheffield where the tournament is played — smells, the practice room is like a garage, and he would like to see the world championship go elsewhere. after his ten frames to five defeat tojudd trump, vafaei said, "history is very important but nobody invests any money in this venue. everything is so bad at the crucible." the theatre has staged snooker�*s biggest competition every year since 1977 but only holds 980 people. its current deal expires in three years. a nervous day ahead for the four—time champion mark selby. he trailsjoe o'connor seven frames to two. they'll resume this afteroon. selby said he could retire if things don't improve interesting comments, perhaps looking to make headlines, he knows that will probably happen. ronnie o'sullivan has done it in the past

it's pretty tight at the top of another super league too. netball�*s version has a two—way fight developing and an incredible performance from mary cholhok helped her team stay in the hunt. she scored all but three points for defending champions loughborough lightning, who beat saracens mavericks 68—60. that was their ninth win in 10 games so far this season. they're still second in the table, only goal difference separating them and manchester thunder, who beat severn stars. the world snooker championship starts in sheffield today amid uncertainty at the event's future at the crucible theatre. the arena has been the home of the tournament since 1977 and has seen some iconic moments. but barry hearn, who is the president of the sport's promoters matchroom, admits there's growing pressure to move to a bigger venue. hearn has been behind many of the biggest changes in british sport over the past fifty years and still has plenty of opinions about the future as he told our reporter patrick gearey.
