The Chinese women's team secured victory in this tournament a round before the end of the World Chess Olympiad. The Chinese chess players have 29 points. The teams of Georgia and the USA, each with 25.5 points, will compete for second place. The Ukrainian women's team in the penultimate round defeated the Polish team with a score of 2:1 and rose to 9th place, with 23 points to their credit.
In the men's competition, the Ukrainian team has an almost 100% chance of securing victory in the competition in the final round, which will take place on Friday. In the 13th round, the Ukrainians drew 2:2 with the Georgian team. Currently, the Ukrainian national team has 36.5 points, while the Russians, who are in second place, have 33.5. In order to become the winners of the Olympiad, the Ukrainians in the final round need to not lose to the French by a margin of more than three points, while the Russians, in order to overtake Ukraine, must beat China with a 3.5-point advantage. Only such a scenario could leave the Ukrainian team without Olympic gold.
