World Snooker Championship: Play suspended as protesters interrupt match and throw orange substance on table
Play suspended at the Crucible after a protester jumped on the table mid-match and threw an orange substance everywhere; the group Just Stop Oil immediately claimed responsibility for the protest on their social media account

A protester jumps on the table during the match between Robert Milkins and Joe Perry
The World Snooker Championship match between Joe Perry and Robert Milkins was delayed when a protester jumped on the table.
The man, wearing a t-shirt with ‘Just Stop Oil’ written on it, came out of the audience and jumped on the table during the middle of the first-round match, throwing an orange substance on it.
He was then swiftly apprehended by security and removed from the table.
A female protester was stopped from disrupting the match between Mark Allen and Fan Zhengyi on table two by referee Olivier Marteel.
A 30-year-old man and a 52-year-old woman have been arrested on suspicion of criminal damage, and both are in police custody.
The protest group Just Stop Oil immediately claimed responsibility for the incident with a post on their Twitter account.
Beginning with the headline “NEW OIL AND GAS WILL SNOOKER US”, the statement went on to say: “At around 7:20pm, two Just Stop Oil supporters have disrupted the World Snooker Championship at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield, interrupting play.
“They are demanding that the Government immediately stop all new UK fossil fuel projects and are calling on UK sporting institutions to step into in civil resistance [sic] against the Government’s genocidal policies.”
Play was immediately suspended as cleaners brought vacuum cleaners into the arena and master of ceremonies Rob Walker was among those helping to sweep up the mess.
The match between Allen and Fan on table two was then able to resume after a delay of around 45 minutes, however table one was taken out of action for the rest of the evening and is due to be re-clothed overnight as a result of being covered in the powder.

The match between Perry and Milkins, which was in the first frame when the interruption occurred, will instead recommence at 7pm on Tuesday followed by the second session getting under way at 9.30am on Thursday.
Former world champion Stephen Hendry, on commentary duties for the BBC, said: “I have never seen that before at a snooker event. It’s a first.
“It is scary – wow! You just hope the cloth can be recovered from that. It caught us all by surprise and then this happens.
“For me, straight away as a snooker player I am thinking: ‘Is the table recoverable?’ We don’t know what that is on the table.”

Adam Peaty: British Swimming say ‘no timeline’ for return after World Aquatics Championships squad omission
Three-time Olympic champion Adam Peaty withdrew from the recent British Championships, saying he was “not enjoying the sport”; the 28-year-old will now extend his break in order to focus on his mental health
Last Updated: 12/04/23 11:42pm
Adam Peaty withdrew from April’s British Swimming Championships
British Swimming will set no timescale for Adam Peaty’s return to competition after the three-time Olympic gold medallist was left out of the squad for the World Aquatics Championships in July.
Peaty, 28, withdrew from the recent British Championships, saying he was “not enjoying the sport”, and will extend his break in order to focus on his mental health.
British Swimming said in a statement it will look to provide Peaty with all the support he needs during his time away from the sport.
The statement, issued to the BBC, read: “There are no specific timelines with Adam at this stage.
“The focus is very much on ensuring he is fully supported, and working with him on when he is ready to make a full return to his normal competition schedule.”
Peaty is a three-time Olympic champion
Peaty has previously said he hoped his decision to step away would help him prepare for next year’s Paris Olympics and the defence of his 100 metres breaststroke and 4x100m mixed medley titles.
In total six Olympic champions – Freya Anderson, Tom Dean, Anna Hopkin, James Guy, Matt Richards and Duncan Scott – will compete in Fukuoka, Japan this summer, with James Wilby also out to add to his previous world championship medal.
Freya Colbert, Dan Jervis and Laura Stephens all made qualification times in their respective events in Sheffield.
There will be 10 swimmers set to make their world championship debut in Japan, including Katie Shanahan, who won 200m backstroke and 200m individual medley titles at Ponds Forge.
British Swimming performance director Chris Spice said: “We were really pleased with the standard of our athletes’ performances at the British Championships, with established names and new faces delivering big swims and helping play their part in some outstanding races.
“As with every year, our swimmers and coaches will now put those performances behind them and focus on what they can do between now and the summer to ensure they can deliver a season’s best when it matters most.”
