The Unforgettable Snooker Adventure at The Crucible
A 37-year-old's remarkable journey at the Sheffield Crucible's snooker tournament.









Jennie Bankcroft has won a competition to attend every session of the snooker World Championships at the Crucible theatre in Sheffield. Despite the comfortable seats, long hours have taken a toll on her body. She first got into snooker as a child and was drawn back in 2008. This time, she's able to watch every frame but has missed the sunny weather outside. Silence is crucial for the audience, and she's become sensitive to noise. Her favorite player, Mark Selby, exited in the first round, making her sad. The tournament's potential move from Sheffield is a concern for her as the Crucible is synonymous with snooker.
