Congrats to Frenchman Maxime Vachier-Lagrave and Swaminathan Soumya, of India, for winning this year's World Juniors in the boys and girls sections, respectively. It was not a particularly positive showing by the trio of Australians, but I suppose they can finish their South American stint with plenty of good experience.
Final Aussie scores are as follows:
6.0 Guo, Emma (Girls)
4.5 Guo-Yuthok, Sherab (Boys)
3.5 Anton, Sarah (Girls)
Despite her terrible run, Sarah did pull off this win. It's a good, domineering one.

I am quite suprised S.Anton scored 3.5 points. Well done
I have fond memories of my own trip to the World Junior where I scored
4.5/13 exactly the same as Sherab Guo-Yuthok. This tournament is usually very strong and for players from our part of the world it can be their first contact with serious international competition so I would guess all the Australian representatives learned quite a lot from the event. From my point of view we can't compete with the european players so it is a success for the players involved to play and represent their country no matter where they finish up.
