Career

Krappen made her World Championship debut in 2003, losing in the quarter-finals to Francis Hoenselaar. She went one step further in 2004, beating Anne Kirk in the quarter-finals but lost in the semis to Trina Gulliver. She then suffered quarter final exits the next three years, losing in 2005 again to Hoenselaar, 2006 to Jan Robbins and 2007 to Apylee Jones. She reached the semi-finals in 2008, defeating Rilana Erades in the quarter-finals but lost to Gulliver once more.

Krappen won the 2005 Women's World Darts Trophy, beating all the previous former champions along the way, defeating 2002 champion Mieke de Boer in the quarter-finals, 2003 champion Gulliver in the semis and 2004 champion Hoenselaar in the final. The ladies competition was discontinued afterwards, making Krappen its last winner. [2]

She reached the final of the Women's World Masters in 2006, beating Julie Gore, Clare Bywaters and Carla Molema before losing once more to Hoenselaar. Krappen won the title in 2007, avenging her defeat of Jones in the World Championships by beating her in the quarter-finals and then defeated Gulliver before beating Karen Lawman in the final. [3]

Krappen originally entered the 2009 Women's World Championship as a non-seeded qualifier, however after Anastasia Dobromyslova withdrew and defected to the PDC Krappen was made the number 4 seed. She defeated qualifier Kirk in the quarter-finals before losing to Gulliver again.

Klaasen became the youngest World Champion at age 21 and became the first qualifier to win the World Championship since Keith Deller in 1983, who became the youngest World Champion himself, aged 23.

The 2009 Lakeside World Professional Darts Championship was the 32nd World Championship organised by the British Darts Organisation. Mark Webster was the defending men's champion having won the title for the first time in the 2008 final against Simon Whitlock, but he was eliminated 4–0 by John Walton in the second round. The title was eventually won by 2000 champion Ted Hankey, who won 7–6 against Tony O'Shea, in a match which lasted just under two and a half hours. The defending women's champion, Anastasia Dobromyslova, was due to defend her championship, having beaten seven-time champion Trina Gulliver in the 2008 final, but on 7 December 2008 she resigned from the BDO/WDF setup after her defeat in the Winmau World Masters to Francis Hoenselaar. It later emerged that she had accepted the 70th and last place into the rival PDC World Championship, replacing an Indian qualifier. This meant that for the first time, the defending women's champion would not be returning to defend her title. Hoenselaar, a five-time runner-up, won her first world title by beating Gulliver – the player that had beaten her each time – by two sets to one. The event took place from 3–11 January 2009 and for the 24th time, the tournament took place at the Lakeside Country Club in Frimley Green.
