Norway still lead the Junior Championship with an increased lead of 9 VPs over France, with Italy and Netherlands close behind. It was a day that belonged to The Netherlands, who scored a maximum 75 VPs to move up from joint 13th to joint 3rd in the rankings. It is early days in this competition and I would not like to predict the eventual winners just yet. What is certain is that there will be fierce competition for both the title and the remaining places at next year’s World Championships in Sydney, Australia.

In the Girls Championship, leaders Austria scored 67 VPs out of 75 on the day, one less than second-placed Poland managed. Austria lead the Poles by 16 VPs while Sweden are a further 16 VPs back in third place. With only four rounds to go, the title will surely go to one of the two leaders, while Netherlands and possibly Italy and Czech Republic are the only other contenders for a medal.
