At the end of the first full day of the Championships it is Poland who lead the way. They recorded three wins to take a narrow lead from another of the favourites, Norway, who like the leaders have recorded four straight victories. They are followed by their fellow Scandinavians, Sweden, who are disputing third place with Israel. They are closely followed by Ireland and Russia. Defeats for Denmark and Iceland in Round 4 stopped the top end of the table having a Nordic look to it and allowed Romania to move past both of them. Although it is early days, all the signs are that there is going to be a desperate struggle for the three vital qualifying places and the medals that go with them. At the other end of the table Greece will need to find some form quickly to avoid the wooden spoon and home supporters will be hoping Great Britain can bounce back from their crushing Round 4 defeat at the hands of the Netherlands. If the weather continues in it's present vein, stamina is sure to play an even bigger part than usual and the teams can be thankful for the air-conditioning in the main playing area. Conditions are not quite so good for the spectators, officials and players who have to watch, work and play on the fourth floor. They are hoping for the sort of weather that is usually associated with a British summer.
