2012 - World Mind Games Bridge - Day 3

THERE WAS NO SHORTAGE OF EXCITEMENT AS THE QUALIFYING STAGES OF THE MEN'S AND WOMEN'S TEAM TOURNAMENTS REACHED A CONCLUSION ON DAY 2 OF THE BEIJING 2012 SPORTACCORD WORLD MIND GAMES.
In the Men's event, China cruised into the gold medal round, but as the last round unfolded the USA and the Netherlands continually swapped places as they attempted to join our hosts in the final. Although the Americans played well in their last match against China they could not match the runaway win that the Dutchmen achieved against dispirited Sweden and it is the reigning Bermuda Bowl champions who will meet China in today's final.
In the Women's event France dominated the days play. With China failing to make an impact the battle for the second spot in the final lay between the USA and Great Britain. At one point Great Britain closed to within .20 of a Victory Point, but they could not gain any further ground and the American's gradually pulled away to secure their spot in the gold medal round.
The star play of the day came in the match between the USA and China when Joel Wooldridge brought home a difficult Four Hearts.
