I can't beat @Joshwith how fast he posts the results! Thanks for sharing again Josh!

 

I'm noticing a big improvement for both the French men teams (Krou/Gauthier-rat and Lyneel/Bassereau). Probably still very far from medal contention in Paris, but last year even in Challenge events they were usually nowhere to be seen.

 

Also didn't expect Xue/Xia to take the women's event over the Brazilian and American pairs. Meanwhile one of the Dutch Piersma/Van Driel teams reached the quarterfinal, decent result for them. Funny how we've got 2 Piersma sisters and 2 Van Driel sisters and they're paired up with each other.

I watched all four medal matches, so that’s probably why I was so quick 

 

Xue/Xia were really impressive. 26/37 on sideout in the final, against one of the best teams in the world in Barbora/Carol. 
 

The French have really been surprising me lately. Remi/Lyneel making the QFs at the La Paz Challenge, Krou/Gauthier Rat winning gold at the Torquay Elite16 (Weaker field then normal, but still) and silver at the Ipanema Challenge. And on the women’s side you have Placette/Richard, who took 9th at the Tepic Elite16 and 5th at the La Paz Challenge. Don’t think any of them will medal come Paris, but anything can happen. 

 

Also, really great to see Alison and Ludwig back on tour. Hopefully they can make a good run towards Paris 2024 qualification with their partners.
