The World Championships in Marrakech concluded over the weekend, and the medalists were:

  • Bermuda Bowl (Open): Gold Switzerland; Silver Norway; Bronze Italy
  • Venice Cup (Women): Gold Israel; Silver Turkiye; Bronze China
  • D’Orsi Bowl (Senior): Gold Denmark; Silver USA1; Bronze USA2
  • Wuhan Cup (Mixed): Gold USA2; Silver France; Bronze Romania

The unluckiest losers were probably Poland, who qualified for the knockout stages in three competitions – the Bermuda Bowl (in 4th place), the Venice Cup (in 1st place), and the D’Orsi Bowl (also in 1st place), but failed to make the podium at all. Feedback has been that the championships were a great success, and that the host Moroccan federation did a great job on venue and organisation. The only downside seems to have been the extreme heat, which meant that the players were pretty much confined to their air-conditioned hotels.
