FINAL
(Played on the long oil pattern):
A 260 game by Ghislaine van der Tol assured
the Dutch team of the gold medal, clinching the
match with a 33 point buffer when it was
tit-for-tat from the fifth frame.
The Dutch quintet were overjoyed at their
success and huddled together with a wild dance
on the approach when their victory was
confirmed. They had beaten their 1003, hit in
the semifinals against Denmark to book their
place in the final. Van der Tols determination
to do well was dedicated to her grandmother who
passed away yesterday.
The Finns fought hard to get back into
contention but the tenth frame did not produce
the strings of strikes they needed.
