Senior teams Q-Final-6 - Hungary v USA 5
   

It’s the halfway point in the semi-finals of the Open, Women’s and Seniors, and some teams have a lot of work to do to get to the gold-medal round.

Chief among them is Norway, including three members of the Bermuda Bow gold medal winners last year. The Norwegians started the day against Italy by losing the first set 65-17. By the end of the day, Norway were down138-59. No doubt the Italians are hoping for very flat boards for the remainder of the semi-final (48 boards).

In the Seniors, Egypt lost their first set against USA 81-9 and must try to make up a164-72 deficit in the three remaining sets.

The Turkish women, trailing England 143-70, will have to stage a huge rally to survive, but the China-USA match is very close at 86-80 for the Chinese, who trailed 48-3 after yesterday’s first set.
