Well Spain and Russia are qualified for U14 final.

And Payola must be in terrible form, because she is losing against players that are not exactly tops.
I don't know what happens with spanish girl who go to the CAR (is a centre to gifted athletes) that instead of progress they have worse and worse results. I hope she go to the good path soon, but her results here are a big big dissapointment

GBR qualified for both finals (all three if we count last week's 12U).

Anyway, Russian team is so strong that this is not even funny

The point being that she's 24 years old. Maybe we should use her patronymic as well (if only we knew what it was and assuming it's not Valeryevna).

Russia won (never in doubt)

Makarova def Tmusic 63 60
Potapova def Danilovic 61 61

I think Potapova right now is clearly the top player in europe (Danilovic is one of the girls with best results and she wasn't able to give her a fight). Probably Desiatnikov is her only competence right now (but at that age things change really fast)
