Nations’s Cup Medal Table and Chessboxing Light+Fit standing at World Championships.

At 5th WCBO Chessboxing World Championships, which took place in Riccione, Russia won all three trophies that the organisers created for the nations standings. The most important one, the (traditional) chessboxing standing. The second trophy was for the top medallist summing up both Light and Fit competitions (the two variations of chessboxing). The third trophy was for top entries and went to Russia as well.

Nations’ Cup:

Russia and France confirm themselves as major powerhouses of international chessboxing. Among them surges Germany and Kazakhstan. India sent a smaller team than in other occasions but, over all, still managed to win six medals, this time round though, only one gold medal. Host nation Italy: for the first time wins more than one medal in traditional chessboxing, resulting in winning one tipe of all three metals. New entrants: Czechia, Kyrgyzstan and Gambia all win one medal each.

Medals’ Table Light + Fit:

It is impressive that, in Light+Fit, new entrant Canada manages to take third place. Russia and Germany, as in traditional chessboxing, are first and second, and fourth place is still for Latvia as in the main standings. UK, as Canada itself, enters this table as it was not present in the main one.

Australia, USA, and Finland, fail to win a medal but their presence helps to register a record number of nations represented, a record number of athletes and trainers, and a first time with all continents represented.

1 Russia 39 (26 male and 13 female);
