The "lifetime" of a Junior player is short - limited of course by the inevitable fact that very soon after starting to play bridge the Junior becomes a senior.

Morten Lund Madsen of Denmark finished his Junior career here in Fort Lauderdale in a non-spectacular way as dummy without having made a bid on the last hand.

However, he watched his partner score up a game that won third prize for Denmark.

In his Junior time, Morten has gathered an impressive collection of 17 medals in international competition:

• World Teams - Bronze in Bali, gold in Hamilton, bronze in Fort Lauderdale
• World Pairs - Bronze
• European Teams - Silver in Papendal, bronze in Cardiff and silver in Vienna
• European Union - Gold and silver in teams, silver and bronze in pairs
• European University Teams - Gold and bronze
• Nordic Teams - Gold and silver in Schools, two silvers in Juniors

No one has a similar collection. It will be hard for any Junior to match it in the future.
