Wenbo Books His Place at the Crucible

Snooker: Liang Wenbo has become only the second Chinese player in history to qualify for the final stages of the World Championship
Liang Wenbo, 21, became only the second Chinese player ever to qualify for the final stages of the World Championship when he defeated Ian McCulloch, a semi-finalist at the Crucible three years ago, 10-5 at the English Institute of Sport in Sheffield yesterday.

Liang will therefore join his compatriot Ding Junhui, who made his debut last year, at the Crucible next month.
