Numerous companies of spirits were partner of those championships and the number of the spectators has broken all the records (around 1000 spectators on tuesday afternoon 20th in the main Ballroom). The competitions were broadcasted on the television and could be followed on the web.

After two days of hard challenges during which the competitors were judged in technique and in tasting (aspect, aroma, taste) by the presidents of each association, the results were proclaimed by Derrick Lee, President of the IBA, with a big surprise : the women won 4 gold medals out of 6! Some historical victories!
