As expected the gold medal was won by Slovenia, big favorites at the starting line. Without its weak points, the quartet formed by Nika Kriznar, Tilen Bartol, Ema Klinec and Ziga Jelar expressed on their limits and confirmed the world title won in this format last year Rasnov.
silver medal for Germany, driven by their own men. Constantin Schmid and Martin Hamann have achieved high quality performance, being very well supported by the female counterpart composed of Agnes Reisch and Gianina Ernst.
Similarly, were the Japanese boys to bring the Sol Levante team to an unexpected bronze medal. Have indeed excelled Masamitsu Ito and Yuken Iwasa, while Minami Watanabe and Fumika Segawa you have worked hard to rise to the situation and allow the Asian team to get a podium surprise, a few points ahead of Norway and the 'Italy, which today has unfortunately lost a 'great opportunity.
