 * small — second place

 * small — second place

Speaking of the Triple Crown
How much attention does this so-called Triple Crown get? Not much, perhaps because pairs play has been so far eclipsed since WBF inaugurated its "World Pairs Olympiad" in 1962.

 * "Gabriel Chagas, of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, is by far South America's all-time most successful player. He is a three-time World Champion, and has won bridge's Triple Crown ..."
