The first results from La Mayonnaise Open, currently in progress in Stockholm.

The largest annual petanque competition in the Nordic region is La Mayonnaise Open, presently underway in Stockholm.

The single competition began on Friday and the semifinals and final were played in the rainy evening yesterday.

The title was won by Philippe Quintais, the individual holder of the largest number of World Championship titles, who together with two of his compatriots is also currently leading the triple competition which will conclude later today.

He defeated Pablo Patron, representing a local club, 13-2.
Pablo won his semifinal match against Amel Moufid, also representing a Stockholm club and a previous World Championship title holder. Pablo defeated one of the other three French guests, Jean-Luc Robert, in the quarter final the day before.

Philippe won his semifinal in a rapid and excitingly close match against the third member of his own team, Herge Concetieue.

Team Hornbill Petanque Sibu has sendt us some pictures from a local tournament in Malaysia.

Finally the BBC has folded: Petanque is the main story on their web page today!

A nice shot from Nice, France.

Straight from the press release: Individuals and companies from as far away as Hertfordshire, UK and companies & individuals from all over the North Island of New Zealand are supporting an initiative to raise money for - and increase awareness of - the Auckland Down Syndrome Association (ADSA) and The New Zealand Down Syndrome Association (NZDSA).

Here we have an example of where not to play... from our ever-growing youtube-section.
