Zhao Xintong's remarkable victory came while he was playing as an amateur after a 20-month suspension. His comeback journey marks a significant achievement in the snooker community, following his victory at the 2021 UK Championship.
This victory against Ronnie O’Sullivan establishes a new trajectory for Zhao, who aspires to emulate Ding Junhui's near victory in 2016. It highlights Zhao's resilience and his growing prominence on the global snooker stage.
Ronnie O’Sullivan praises Zhao as a future 'megastar'
Following Zhao's success, Ronnie O’Sullivan labeled him a future 'megastar', attributing this leap to his determined playing style. Snooker circles have taken note, anticipating Zhao's potential to become the first Chinese world snooker champion as a unifying moment for Chinese sport.

While Zhao's rise primarily shakes the snooker scene, there is no direct impact on cryptocurrency markets. The event underscores how sports stars like Zhao can emerge independently of broader financial or technological trends.
The 2016 Ding Junhui final: A comparative analysis
Ding Junhui's participation in the 2016 final is comparable, where he raised the profile of Chinese snooker despite a loss in the final. However, no links to cryptocurrencies emerged at that time, unlike the current achievements of Zhao.
Kanalcoin experts emphasize that Zhao's rise may further popularize snooker in China, but he lacks a direct commitment to cryptocurrencies. His trajectory may inspire digital endorsements in the sport, an area still largely distinct from traditional snooker events.
