Juniors World Championships 2008 are played on eternite and felt courses in Budapest, Hungary.

Czech Republic got bronze, 36 points behind Sweden and 37 points ahead of Austria in fourth place.
In female juniors Czech Republic won team gold for the second year in a row —
again after a tied score and sudden death play-off, as last year.
Germany got silver, after losing the sudden death.
Bronze medals went to Sweden, 22 points behind the winners, and 7 points ahead of
Switzerland in fourth place.
The best players of 8 preliminary rounds were Sascha Spreier of Germany
and Filiph Svensson of Sweden. Both of them played
average 29.75 on felt, and
23.25 on eternite.
Gerrit Britz of Germany was third best in preliminary rounds,
with average 32.25 on felt, and
a sovereign game 21.00 on the difficult eternite course.

Jana Nakládalová of Czech Republic
(felt 31.25, eternite 26.50),
Frida Elmdahl of Sweden
(felt 35.00, eternite 23.75),

was last but not least in the competition of male juniors:

Traditionally the strongest felt nation in the world,
Sweden was unable to take the first place in any statistics of preliminary rounds.
