Ronnie O’Sullivan Claims He’d Be ‘Twice as Big’ Without His Strict Fitness Routine After Cycling in China

RONNIE O’SULLIVAN claims that if it weren’t for his dedication to fitness, he could be “double the size” in terms of weight.

Now at the age of 50, The Rocket impressively maintains a slender figure—showing no signs of aging—and enjoys long runs.

During his time in Taiyuan for the £1.205 million China Open, he was spotted biking around the city on a small yellow bike.

The seven-time world snooker champion has various passions beyond the cue sports, including hitting the gym, writing books, and preparing tasty meals.

As he prepares for Wednesday’s second-round matchup against Thai competitor Noppon Saengkham—who recently defeated world No. 1 Judd Trump—he emphasized the significance of staying active as he enters his 50s.

O’Sullivan stated: “I just aim to be healthy. I think it’s essential to prioritize health. That’s why I enjoy running and hitting the gym.”

“I have a large appetite. Without exercising, I’d likely weigh twice what I do now.

“Having faced various ups and downs in my snooker journey, I’ve needed to find distractions to deal with the setbacks and frustrations that come my way.

“It’s all about striving to have a meaningful life. If snooker isn’t going well, I want to manage it effectively.

“This sport can be simple at times, yet at others it can feel incredibly daunting. That’s the challenging aspect of snooker.
