Georgian women’s team got the Bronze Medal, at the 43^rd World Chess Olympiad, which was hosted by Batumi Sport Palace from September 24 to October 5. Georgian team won the last match against quite strong team of Armenia – 3:1. Nana Dzagnidze and Lela Javakhishvili won, Nino Batsiashvili and Bela Khotenashvili played a tie. The final result of Georgian team was dependent on the opponents’ games. China ended the last game with a tie with Russia and became a Champion with 18 points. Ukraine also has 18 points. They conceded the championship because of the low additional points.

Georgian team got the Bronze Medal with 17 points. If it wasn’t for the lost points with non-opponent teams, Georgia would have the championship game today, but in the end we got the Bronze Medal, which is not a bad result.
