Here are the results for the final six of the WBC. Congratulations to Australia's Scottie who placed third. (It seems there has been some confusion over whether he was third or fourth but they seem to have settled on third.) Either way it's a huge achievement.
Raul Rodas (Guatemala) 691 points
Scottie Callaghan (Australia) 672.5 points
Colin Harmon (Ireland) 659.5 points
Soren Stiller Markussen (Denmark) 644.5 points
Stefanos Domatiotis (Greece) 632 points
Congratulations as well to Michael Phillips on winning. Special mention to Stefanos who Sam met with a matter of weeks ago in Greece, clearly he is a passionate and gifted barista.
I couldn't help but take note of the prominence of countries of origin this year also. There were four entrants from coffee growing nations in the top twelve, Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala, and Mexico. This in combination with the location for next years WBC (Bogota, Colombia) should make for an even heavier level of interest from South American and Central American nations. My prediction is a much more open field, and heavier competition from a higher variety of nations.
