World Mind Sports Games at the End

The first edition of WMSG 2008 concluded today. As far as Go is concerned, China won the most gold medals:
Country Gold Silver Bronze Total
China 3 1 1 5
Korea 2 4 3 9
DPR Korea 1 0 0 1
Taiwan 0 1 0 1
Japan 0 0 2 2
Surprisingly, DPR Korea’s place in this “medal order” is very good – that’s due to a gold medal to an open amateur even as explained here, but I wan’t able to find out what event was that.

    DPR Korea’s representative won in Individual Open. See http://www.2008wmsg.org/en/news/2008-10-10/1650348.html

    Thanks a lot for the link and information, Przemek!

    North Korea must have been very proud to win against South Korea, I imagine….

    This game had probably a lot of meaning for the players.
    Here an article about it: http://ranka.intergofed.org/?p=854

    Romain,
    Thanks for the link – very interesting read!
    Didn’t seem to have been much of a rivalry going on there between the 2 Koreas, but rather friendship. Very nice indeed!
