Jan Moszynski & Jaroslaw Cieslak continued the fantastic record of the Polish players in the Open Championship, winning by a comfortable margin. Jan. 39, works in computers. His father competed here in the Senior Pairs. Jarowslaw 37, is a father of three and a schoolteacher in history. They had a poor second session in the semifinal, but an excellent third session was just enough to qualify.

Italian pairs took silver and bronze, Leandro Burgay & Carlo Mariani finishing ahead of Dano De Falco and Guido Ferraro.

There was a tremendous finish in the Senior Final. England's Keith Stanley & Derek Rue and Germany's Hans Humburg & Goran Mattsson broke clear of the field and swapped places several times. With only four boards to play the English pair led by only four points and a strong finish by the German's saw them come through to capture the Gold Medals.

In the two previous Championships they had gone into the last session as leaders only to fall away, so this was a very sweet victory indeed. Third place went to Roald Ramer & Jan Bomhof of the Netherlands.
