Olympiad Dresden - Round 8

Armenia maintained their momentum by destroying France in the top match today. Israel beat Germany, Russia defeated the USA and China might have lost the chance for a medal by drawing with the excelling Vietnamese. Ukraine had a very easy win against New Zealand, who although performing very well, were paired against the 2nd seeds due to the new criteria of using match points. In round 9 Israel will try to peg back Armenia while the Russian's will face off against the 2nd seeded Ukraine.

The Chinese ladies gave up their 2nd draw in a row to the Ukraine. However, they still maintain a 1 point lead which will be hard to overhaul. The USA showed that they are serious medal contenders by defeating the first seeds Russia who could miss out on a medal entirely. Poland defeated Hungary and the Indian ladies may also have lost the chance of a medal by losing to Serbia. Round 9's top matches will be China against Serbia, Poland and USA, Ukraine against Romania.
