"VAN" (Sports Desk - 25.03.2025) :: After nine long and tremendously exciting rounds, the Cyprus Women’s Grand Prix has come to a close.
Moreover, this afternoon’s final round was highly entertaining, despite all five games ending in draws. In fact, the final tournament winner, Anna Muzychuk, was only decided at the very end, based on a unique combination of factors.
Zhu Jiner failed to convert what seemed like a big advantage against Nana Dzagnidze while, at exactly the same time, Olga Badelka was unable to finish-off a decisive +12 advantage against Stavroula Tsolakidou.
Both Anna Muzychuk and China’s young prodigy Zhu Jiner scored solid +2600 performances and tied for first on 6/9, leaving behind Harika Dronavalli, Aleksandra Goryachkina and Mariya Muzychuk at a massive one-point distance in the final standings.
Anna will take home the trophy and winner’s recognition, but the prize-money and WGP circuit points will be shared with Zhu Jiner.
The next stop of the Grand Prix will be in Pune (India) from April 13 to April 24. Zhu Jiner, Harika Dronavalli and Divya Deshmukh, all three outstanding participants here in Cyprus, will be joined by seven other formidable female cycle players.
