India's U-31 bridge team won the bronze medal while the U-16 side finished fourth in the 19th World Youth Team Championships held at Salsomaggiore in Italy.
On the final day of the tournament on Thursday, two Indian teams were in contention for podium finishes.

The U-16 team lost the semi-final Play-off against France after two close sets. They, however, became the first Indian side to advance this far in the
competition.

The U-31 team, playing in the ‘Board A Match' event, finished third among 24 competing sides to win the bronze medal. The Indian U-21 and U-26 teams did not make it to the top eight.
