Bridge
at Home in the Olympic Museum
After three days of
competition, the five qualifying matches mirroring the five Olympic
rings, it was France and China who are missing
from today's semi-finals, which see the USA
facing Indonesia and Italy meeting Poland.
Today also sees the start of the Women's match betweeen North
America and Europe, with the former
looking to avenge their defeat of last year.
The dramatic improvement in the weather yesterday
coincided with the 75th anniversary of the birth of Duplicate Contract
Bridge created by Harold Vanderbilt on
the 1st November 1925, and allowed the contestants to capture the
full flavour of the Olympic Musuem. As
you can see below, our photographer, Ron Tacchi
was also out and about in the Olympic Park.
