The 2024 World Team Championship in international draughts (checkers) ended in Albufeira, Portugal. We know the best teams in the world in classic, rapid and blitz games. Now that the medals have already been awarded, it is worth taking a look at what is worth praising the organization of this tournament and what should be improved for the future.

The men’s team from the Netherlands dominated the championship, winning everything there was to win. The team consisting of GMI Jan Groenendijk, GMI Alexander Baliakin and GMI Jitse Slump was out of the competition’s reach. Without any major threat from other teams, the Dutch confidently won three gold medals. Among women, the greatest medal achievements went to Poland, with GMIF Marta Bańkowska, GMIF Natalia Sadowska and MIF Katarzyna Stańczuk playing. The Polish women were the best in rapid and blitz, and in the classic they were second only to the phenomenal Latvia (with 10-, 14- and 24-year-olds in the squad, as we wrote about HERE).
