Num pronunciamento final o Presidente da WBF informou a má notícia de que o Comitê Olímpico - IOC havia rejeitado a hipótese de incluir o Bridge como esporte olímpico de inverno, pois o IOC pautou-se pelo conceito de que esporte de inverno requer contato com o gelo.

Além disso, frisou que, diante das mudanças já iniciadas em 1999, as competições abertas, por time e por dupla, serão doravante competições transnacionais.
