Norway Celebrate Another Gold

Table of Contents Page Helness’s Golden Double 1 Round Of 16 - Gromova v. Erichsen 2 Quarterfinal - Herbst v. Armstrong 3 Quarterfinals - Set 1 4

Played two, won two, not a bad record in any sport, and that simple statistic reflects a magical start to the championships for Norway’s Tor & Gunn Helness who followed up Wednesday’s victory in the Mixed Teams with another in the European Open Mixed Pairs Championship. A powerful performance in the first session gave them a big lead, and although they posted a relatively modest score in the second no-one could take advantage.
The silver medal went to a pair with a terrific record in mixed events, France’s
Sylvie Willard & Herve Mouiel, the former adding to the silver medal she won in the Women’s Pairs in Menton two years ago, while the United States Michael & Debbie Rosenberg prevented another clean sweep for Europe by finishing third. It was their second European Open medal as they won the Mixed Teams two years ago.
