Lynda Barnes and Carolyn Dorin-Ballard averaged 212.83 as a team to dominate the first squad in women’s doubles at the World Senior Championships 2017 Thursday afternoon at Dream-Bowl Palace in Unterföhring near Munich, Germany.

Top 4 of Squad A from left to right: Lynda Barnes, Carolyn Dorin-Ballard (United States), Teresa Piccini, Margarita Ramos (Mexico), France Joubert, Jill Friis (Canada) and Lena Sulkanen, Christel Carlsson (Sweden).

Barnes (left), who won gold in singles in her WSrC debut yesterday, rolled the first 1400-series by a woman in the short history of the event as the duo set a new Championship record for six games in doubles with 2554.

Barnes had games of 247, 205, 248, 226, 218 and 258 for 1402, an average of 233.67, and Dorin-Ballard (right) added 1152. The Americans out averaged their nearest competitors from Mexico by more than 13 pins.

<b>Teresa Piccini, who won gold in doubles at the inaugural WSrC in 2013, and her teammate Margarita Ramos (right, l-r) rebounded from a slow start (1088 after three games) with a record 1307 series, including a huge 476 last game, to move into second place with 2395 (199.58 average).

France Joubert and Jill Friis (left, l-r) had five games between 407 and 384, but finished with a low game of 336 to fall behind the Mexicans to third place with 2316 (193.00).

Rounding out the top 4 were 2013 WSrC team champions Christel Carlsson and Lena Sulkanen (right, r-l), who chalked up 2269 pins (189.08).

The other 24 doubles are already out of contention for the medals. The top 4 have to sit and wait if their scores will hold on as the 24 teams of squad B, who took to the lanes at 5.30 p.m. CEST, will conclude the preliminaries.

The medal round will start on Friday afternoon at 6 p.m. Central European Summer Time (CEST) with the semi-finals. The No. 1 seed takes on No. 4 and No. 2 meets No. 3. The winners of the one-game matches advance to the gold medal match and the losers share the bronze medal.
