Denmark Secure the First Medal 1
Final 1st Segment 2
2002 ACBL Junior Camp 3
Final 2nd Segment 4
 

By defeating Thailand 191-123.5 IMPs Denmark, represented by Michael Askgaard, Gregers Bjarnarson, Kare Gjaldbaek, Jonas Houmoller, Andreas Marquardsen and Martin Schaltz took third place. It was the fourth consecutive medal for Denmark in these Championships, having previously won bronze medals in Bali and Fort Lauderdale and a gold in Hamilton in 1997.

USA I go into today's two remaining sessions of the final with a huge advantage as they lead Israel 174 -93 IMPs. They took full advantage of their opponents mistakes to establish a commanding lead after three of yeterday's four sessions but full credit to the Israel team who came back to win the final session of the day to just about keep their hopes alive.

accompanied by Panos Gerontopoulos.
 
 
In the Swiss pairs event Agustin Madala and Pablo Ravenna had an excellent day and have moved to the top of the table, well clear of Olav Ellestad and Gunnar Harr.
