The Mixed Pairs, dominated by the USA, featured an impressive performance by the late Barry Crane, who some considered the world’s most effective pairs player, and Kerri Shuman (now Sanborn). They won the four session contest by more than 3 1/2 boards.

The Mixed Pairs was won by Tony Trad and Loula Gordon of Switzerland.

The Mixed event, contested by 228 pairs, saw a remarkable performance by a player who 40 years earlier had contested the very first international contract bridge matches between a Bridge World team and Britain and France, who had been an outstanding player of auction bridge before contract was even invented. Aged 74 and troubled by poor sight, USA’s Waldemar von Zedwitz headed the field in the partnership with Barbara Brier (picture). Second was a Great Britain/Switzerland combination, Rixi Markus and Georges Catzeflis. Third were Riva Sinder and Michael Hochzeit of Israel. Von Zedwitz’s service to the game of bridge as a player, administrator and theorist was later recognised by his election to WBF’s Committee of Honour.

The Mixed event was contested by 130 pairs and Mary-Jane Farell and Ivan Erdos (USA) won the gold medal, followed by Joan Durran and Maurice Weissburger (Great Britain).
