Based on the response in Edmunds' thread, seems like there's some interest for the sport.
Favourites: men's class is wide open - anyone of Croatia, Denmark, Germany, France, Spain, Poland and Romania could win. On the women's side it's basically Russia and Norway.
Format at the games is two groups of six with four going through to knock-outs, so the group stage is basically meaningless as the non-European sides should be eliminated. Hopefully Egypt and Korea can put up a fight. What's good about the format is plenty of rest for the best players, in most other major national tournaments they're knackered by the end as they're expected to play a game a day.
