Team Canada (Judith and Nicholas Gartaganis, Hazel and Darren Wolpert, Linda Wynston and Daniel Korbel) will go for Gold in the Transnation final against Team Milner (Petra Hamman, Hemant Lall, Reese Milner, Gabriella Olivieri, Jacek Pszczola and Meike Wortel.)
You can follow the match on BBO and read all about it on World Bridge Game site.
In the Semi-final vs Team SAIC RED, Hazel (South) and Darren (North) bid and made a slam on this deal to earn their team 11 IMPs when their opponents stopped in the spade game.

(1) some 4414 or 4405 hand
Playing Precision limited opening, it was not easy for North to visualize there were no wasted values in the South hand.
Go Canada! 🙂

So great to watch Canadians in a World Championship final. We are all so proud of them and wish them all the luck today!
