The Art of Winning

September 9, 2025

They were aiming for a fourth team gold, and there was little that could stop them from achieving this… In the lead following the team competition on Sunday, the remainder of the Individual Championship Tests took place this evening for Grades Ia, Ib and III.

For Britain, the undefeated title holder, the evening got off to a great start when Anne Dunham and Sophie Christiansen claimed gold and silver respectively in the Ia competition. And the deal was sealed in the final moments of competition when Lee Pearson also took gold in the Grade Ib Individual Championship test…

Germany fought hard, but the early British lead and the successes they encountered during the Individual Championship tests were irreproachable. Nevertheless, Germany secured secondp place with tow golden performances from Britta Naepel and Hannelore Brenner.

Norway also had some fierce competition edging close to the thrid spot, but they held on successfully with tow silvers – that of Jens Dokkan and Ann Cathrin Lubbe.

Denmark was the unlucky fourth, with just 3 points separating them from Norway…

The winners will have plenty of time to prepare their speeches however as the Prize Giving Ceremony for the team medals will only take place on Thursday
