The American women's team is struggling in the World Women's Team
Championship in Ningbo, China with two match losses in a row. Update: The American women rebounded in round six against China's "A" team. Full story coming soon! The Americans were unable to repeat their stunning defeat of Russia in the Olympiad, and lost 1-3 in round four. Then in round five against China's "B" team (still very strong), they lost 2.5-1.5, with the bright spot being team newcomer Alisa Melekhina's win. 3454 To be fair, here is one of our losses in that round: 3453 As a consolation to our readers for the news, Irina Krush sent over some photos from her rest day.
