European championships

[edit]

Garozzo won relatively few European championships and relatively few Italian championships (we list 5 and 12 at Open Teams).

From 1961, his Bermuda Bowl debut, through 1977 the BB tournament comprised the defending champion team (not always identical in composition) as well as one representative from each of 3 to 5 zones (not always determined by a zonal tournament). There were 14 BB tournaments during those 17 years (4 Olympiads; both in 1976), of which Italy won 10 (the first seven, 1960s, plus three consecutive, 1973-75). So Italy was defending champion 11 times (eight plus 1974-76), of which Garozzo played 10 (all but the eighth, 1970).

There were three other BB tournaments with the defender arrangement, 1971, 1973, and 1977. North America was the defending champion zone with two teams in those three fields; the European teams were France, Italy, and Sweden respectively. ...

... Italy in 1979, when the BB tournament became biennial and dropped the defender arrangement.

The same observations pertain to all Italy players of the 1960s and 1970s, of course. Pietro Forquet won only 5 European championships, all in the 1950s, prior to both the defender arrangement and Garozzo. He participated in those three Euro tournaments only (plus 2001 Senior Pairs), according to his record at WBF.[1]

Lea Dupont

[edit]

or Lea du Pont, etc.

  • "International record for Lea DUPONT". World Bridge Federation.

That record shows Dupont and Garozzo entered a quadrennial World Bridge Championships (World Pairs Olympiad) event as early as the 1978 Mixed Pairs [ages ~38, 51], as late as the 2006 Senior Pairs. She played on the Italy women team as early as the 1984 World Team Olympiad (5th place) and 1985 European championships (3rd).

One friend of Garozzo recalls that "the dawn of their love" was in 1975 [ages ~35, 48], perhaps in association with the European championships. [2]

The self-described "friend" Silvio Sbarigia played for Italy in the 1976 Team Olympiad. --P64 (talk) 19:23, 11 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
