 The awesome US/German/Italian squad led by George Jacobs powered their way into the knock out stages of the Mixed Teams Championship, winning all six of their matches to amass 122 VP. That left them 10 VP clear of Gromova’s Russia/Poland alliance, with the French squad Levy tied with a Polish/French outfit, Harazimovicz for third place.
With Popova and Brigada in fifth and sixth positions it was mainly the European players who dominated the second days play.
The first 27 teams qualified from Group A along with the 5 from Group B who took their second chance. They included the powerful Armstrong and Gitelman teams, but not Lavazza, who fell 5 VP short.
