After a dramatic match where the lead changed hands more than once it was the team from Norway, Espen Erichsen, Helen Erichsen, Boye Brogeland, Tonje Brogeland, Tor Helness & Gunn Helness who emerged as the new European Open Mixed Teams Champions. The runners up representing Sweden are Lars Goldberg, Ulla-britt Goldberg, Bengt-erik Efraimsson & Helena Svedlund.
The bronze medal winning teams are Brigada – Maija Romanovska, Karlis Rubins, Maria Lebedeva & Igor Khazanov of Latvia/Russia and from Israel and the Netherlands Herbst – Ilan Herbst, Ronnie Barr, Elisabeth Van Ettinger, Jan Van Cleeff & Marion Michielson (who we believe may be the youngest ever medallist at this level).
