1st Domino World Championship 1995
Anne Marie Hartvigsen is Domino World Champion 1995!
On Saturday, 30 December 1995, the first decentralised Domino World Championship took place. A total of 40 participants played at 3 locations in Switzerland and one each in Norway and Germany for the world championship title, which was awarded for the first time and surprisingly won by the young Norwegian woman.
The coverage of the Norwegian press therefore also celebrated Anne Marie Hartvigsen's victory exuberantly.
For this, a commentary by the Swiss domino trade paper »Schwarzes Auge«:
»VG«, the national tabloid of the fjord state, considered AnnHar's triumph as a national victory. Under the headline »The best in the domino« it says:
Wrong: The fatherland is hurtling into the new year in full swing. Now Norway has also won the world title in dominoes. Anne Marie Hartvigsen (18) from Luster surprisingly won the title on Saturday.
Right: AnnHar grew up in Luster, but does not live there now. She won the title, not Norway, certainly not any fatherland. Dominoes is not a game for nationalists (did you know that of the top ten in the world rankings, nine places are occupied by Swiss players?).
