Among the 24 couples who participated there were several merit players, but none of them could cope with father and son Evenstad. They won with an impressive score of 63.06%.
Nicolai started his bridging career by attending NBF’s summer camp in 2016. Since then he has both become a Nordic champion and participated in the European Championship for Norway in the U16 class.
For the victory in the Christmas Book, Nicolai was rewarded with 5.4 points. In total, he has now dropped 48.43 champion points, thus missing only one and a half points before he can adorn himself with the title of heart champion. He is probably among the very youngest to have won a federal tournament, and is also poised to become the youngest to have become a heart champion.
