Bulgaria has been represented by only two players here in Montreal but that has not stopped it from taking a gold medal. Congratulations to Christo Drumev and Ivan Tanev, who won the World Senior Pairs Championship yesterday.

In the Open Pairs, Mahmood/Rosenberg still lead but Brenner/Chagas are breathing down their necks after a 63.13 % fourth session. Third are Italy's Fantoni/Nunes, who did well in session three but poorly in session four. Eisenberg/Kass of France also made a big fourth-session move, scoring 62.79% to take over fourth place, with several pairs very close behind them.

Three American pairs fill the medal positions in the Women's Pairs going into the final session. Allison/Sutherlin lead narrowly from McCallum/Rosenberg and Sanborn/Levitina. Now that would be some family double if Michael Rosenberg could hold on to first place in the Open and wife Debbie could move up one place to take the Women's gold. Levy/De Heredia of France and Quinn/Breed of USA are both well in touch but the rest will need a big session to win the title.
