As we move into the final sessions of the 4th IOC
Grand Prix for the Generali Trophy, the continents of Europe and
America are contesting all three finals.
In the Men's Teams, Canada, who trailed
the reigning Olympiad Champions from Italy by 42 IMPs after
the first two sets, scored an upset but merited comeback victory,
much to the delight of the Canadian contingent. They start the day
with a small lead over Poland, who also came back form a
half-time deficit to defeat the Bermuda Bowl runners up from Norway,
in the other semi-final. Both teams play in red and white, but they
have not yet revealed their away colours.
France, who easily accounted for The Netherlands,
and USA, who overcame Germany's Venice Cup Champions,
face each other in the Women's Teams, and France have already
built up a commanding lead.
The losing semi-finalists will play-off (perhaps we
should say face-off) for third place.
In the Junior Teams
final, Americas hold a commanding lead over Europe North
by virtue of a powerful first session. In a high scoring contest
for third place Europe South have established a reasonable
lead over North America.
