For the first time ever we had a winner who was forming part of a Pair (Pat Gibson) that previously won the title while playing with a different partner (Dr. Ian Bayley, Tallinn 2005). Pat emerged triumphant this year, alongside partner Kevin Ashman, only after beating off the strongest of challenges from a Finnish duo of Jussi Savanto and Tero Kalliolevo.
Warm and heartfelt commiserations go to Tero who must rate as the unluckiest player of the weekend - finishing runner-up in both the Pairs (by 2 points) and Individuals (by just 1 point) and a Bronze medalist too in the Nations event. Hard luck Tero, that Gold medal will come soon, I'm sure of it!
Third place went to last year's winners David Stainer and Olav Bjortomt. Doubtless they will make another strong challenge for the title when we all meet again in Bruges/Brugge next year.
