Surprising Fred Kok...

Fred Kok (NL) was the first to get a gold medal around his neck - and nobody seemed more surprised than Fred Kok himself. He had come to London to regain his LoA world title, but got away with a golden GIPF-with-TAMSK-potentials medal by winning 4 of his 5 matches. So did Werner Dupont (B), but Fred had beaten him in the 4th round and that made the difference. Stephen Tavener (GB) scored 3 points and that was good enough for bronze.
