Final results 9th Simendo skills competition

Congratulations to all the winners!

From the start the cards seemed shuffled, and they were. Despite the fierce battles until the last day of the competition, no one managed to shake up the Top 3. That means the Top 3 did an unbelievably fine job of setting the bar so high it was almost impossible to go past it. We congratulate Gavin Lo with 3rd place, Merel Klunder with her 2nd place and the trophy for 1st place goes to Andre Nijssen this year. We also congratulate the ZGT Almelo/Hengelo surgery department for filling the entire Top 3 and producing the winner for the second year in a row.
