The documentary focuses on Ronnie O\u2019Sullivan\u2019s triumphant 2022 World Championship<\/p>\n
T<\/span>here is a scene in Edge of Everything, the new documentary about Ronnie O\u2019Sullivan, that provides as sharp an analysis as you will ever see of the pressures of top level sport. It is from footage taken in his dressing room during the final of the 2022 World Snooker Championship in Sheffield. <\/p>\n
At 46, O\u2019Sullivan is poised to become the oldest winner of the title in history. But as he takes a break in the scrabble to overcome his opponent Judd Trump, he is behaving less like a seasoned veteran and more like a panicked teenager, stomping around the room in total dismay, close to tears in his frustration.<\/p>\n
