Four teams slept soundly last night secure in the knowledge
that today they would start out on a match that will see two
of them crowned as World Champions on Saturday.
Poland and Italy will contest the final of the
Open series. The Poles were always in control of their match
against the USA, but Italy were given several
scares by an English team that has impressed everyone
before they finally saw daylight..
We have know for some time that the USA would provide
one of the finalists in the Women's event, and they completed
the formality of a victory over the gallant squad from Norway.
The remaining match between Canada and Germany
was a much closer affair, with the lead changing hands several
times. At one point yesterday it looked as if Germany
were breaking clear, but the Canadians stuck to their
task, and with both teams showing signs of fatigue, it was the
Canadians who displayed the stronger resolve, to produce
an all North American final.
Transnational Mixed Teams
You can't escape the Internet bridge sensation e-bridge,
as their star studded team tops the rankings after eight rounds.
They are followed by team Zenit, and then come two more
teams packed with World Champions, Hackett, and Eisenberg.
A more thorough study of the field now has the count of World
Champions taking part up to twenty-four!
