The most successful nation in those events is, perhaps surprisingly, the Netherlands with 93 medals, 37 of them golds, also the record. Second on that list is France, with 86 medals and 31 titles. Then come Italy (77/24) and Poland (64/17). The United States have 53 medals (19 of them gold) and are the most succesfull non- European nation. Players from a total of 17 nations have won European open titles, including the USA and China from outside of Europe. A total of 33 countries have contributed to the medallists, including players from Argentina and Brazil (zone 3), India (zone 4), China (zone 5), Australia (zone 7) and South Africa and Zimbabwe (zone 8). That only leaves zone 6, who will most probable not attain this feat in Montecatini, since no representatives from Central America made the trip to Europe so soon after their own zonals, two weeks ago in Guatemala. On the individual front, Sylvie Willard leads the pack with nine medals, ahead of Wietske Van Zwol with eight. Catherine D'Ovidio and Bep Vriend have seven medals, but four of them were golds, making them the leading players in Europe. Philippe Cronier is the most successfule male player, with six medals, which is also the total achieved by four more Dutch women players. A VIEW OF THE BRIDGE The EBL have appointed David Bird, Bill Jacobs, Larry Cohen, Graham Osborne, Mark Horton and Roland Wald to act as BBO commentators. They may be joined from time to time by Jon Cooke and Stephen Kennedy.

    Editor: Brian Senior • Lay Out Editor: Fotis Skoularikis Issue No. 7 AMERICAN DOUBLE Friday, 16 December 2011 USA took both Individual gold medals at the 2011 Sport Accord World Mind Games in Beijing. In the Men, Chris Willenken had a final session-long battle with China’s Jie Li before eventually coming out on top by 8 MPs on a top of 10. Li just held on to the silver medal as the fast finishing Brad Moss (USA) closed to just 1 MP behind him to claim the bronze. In the Women’s event, Janice Seamon-Molson led for much of the final session and held on to win by 6 MPs from Nicola Smith (GB), with Molson’s regular partner, Tobi Sokolow taking the bronze. And so the first Sport Accord Mind Games come to a close. With many media outlets showing coverage, the Games will have helped to boost the profile of bridge (and the other four sports involved) around the world.
