I’d love to be a fly on the wall when the Rimstedts and their children get together over supper. One thing’s for sure: when the discussion turns to bridge, no other family in the world could match them.
The parents, Magnus and Ann Rimstedt, are well-known Swedish players; they imparted their love of the game to their eldest two children, Cecilia and Sandra, when the girls were growing up in the small village of Halmstad. Both women are now celebrated internationals, in particular Cecilia, 31, who last year won the European women’s championship. The sisters, in turn, taught their younger twin brothers when they were just five. You may have heard of them: Ola and Mikael Rimstedt are the reigning world pairs champions.
