Top Teams Dominate Second Phase of European Teams Championships Stage 1 in Sarajevo

The top teams entered the second phase of the European Teams Championships Stage 1 in Sarajevo. The second group stage produced no upsets in the opening round.

In the Women’s Team Event, only teams seeded in positions two and three were on duty in the morning session. The Netherlands, England, Greece, and Belgium will play in round two against the lowest-seeded teams. Moldova beat Latvia 3-0, Slovenia beat Norway 3-2, Bulgaria prevailed against Bosnia and Herzegovina 3-0, and Switzerland beat Denmark 3-1.

In the Men’s Event, top seeds felt the heat from the beginning of the day, as there are four teams in each of the four groups. Greece and Türkiye successfully completed their tasks by overcoming Iceland and Luxembourg. Matthias Por SANDHOLT of Iceland scored again today, defeating Georgios STAMATOUROS. SANDHOLT has now won three out of six matches at the Championships so far, a commendable record for the Iceland team.

In Group 2, Finland and Moldova prevailed against Wales and Bulgaria. In Group 3, Spain and Lithuania overcame Cyprus and Ireland, respectively.

In Group 4, Norway prevailed against Scotland, while the Netherlands edged Switzerland. The 3-2 result was expected, as four out of six players from both teams compete in the Dutch league and are familiar with each other’s style.

Only the winners from Stage 1 will qualify for the Final Stage in Zadar. The second-placed teams will play additional matches to determine the two remaining spots in the Final Stage.
