Record-Breaking Snooker Frame: A Battle at the Crucible
During the snooker World Championships at the Crucible, Mark Allen and Wu Yize broke the record for the longest frame, lasting 100 minutes and 19 seconds. Allen ultimately potted the black, but Wu triumphed in the end, as they fought for a spot in the finals.
In a historic showdown at the Crucible, Mark Allen and Wu Yize carved their names into snooker lore with a marathon frame lasting 100 minutes and 19 seconds. The players battled through a prolonged standstill, marked by a 55-minute period without a single ball potted.
Allen eventually broke the stalemate by potting the black, but Wu emerged victorious in the epic battle. This gripping frame eclipsed the previous record of 85 minutes and 22 seconds, set by Mark Selby and Yan Bingtao in 2022.
With the semi-final tied at 7-7, both Allen and Wu are vying for the chance to become the 34th person to reach the final of the prestigious tournament. The action resumes Saturday, with high stakes and high tension on the legendary Crucible stage.
