Asia  Korea will be hot favourites in most of the medals, as always, and have Seung-Ja Baek, Bo-Hyun Shin, Yeon-Ju Kim and Moon-Jeong Kim in the girls squad and Hae-Sol Hong, Jong-Woo Park, Seung-Hyeon Shin and Ju-Young Kim in the boys squad.
Europe
Let's not forget other strong European countries like Belgium, Bulgaria, Catalonia, Czech Republic, Estonia, France, Germany, Iceland, Israel, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, Russia, Switzerland and the Ukraine. Middle East
 Let's not forget the UAE who have some amazing stars at adult level thanks to the coaching of Andrew Frawley from Australia. The youth team will have gained a lot with the improvements in the national team and the squad of Sultan Mohammad Al Quabaisi, Abdulla Al Mulla, Mohammed Al Daheri and Suhail Al Tamimi could raise a few eyebrows.
More Middle Eastern countries in with a chance include Egypt, Kazakhstan and Qatar Girls Singles - Record falls for Carmen
Team USA's Brittni Hamilton matched up against The Netherlands' Carmen Haandrikman with Latvia's Diana Zavjalova against Korea's Yeon-Ju Kim. An unlucky Diana Zavjalova left it late before she started to string the strikes leaving the Korean to win out 214-204 and in the other match it was pure drama as both Brittni and Carmen tied 188 each to force a ninth and tenth frame roll off. Brittni started with a strike as Carmen hit a nine spare but the American struck again on the right lane after struggling to do so during the first 12 frames and added another strike to book her place in the final against the Korean Yeon-Ju Kim.

In the girls semi finals Korea's Moon-Jeong Kim lined up against Colombia's Laura Fonnegra and it was the Colombian that made light work of it defeating the Korean 3-0 with all three games very close.

The final became a classic as the Colombian Fonnegra raced to a 2-0 lead but the Korean Yeon-Ju fought back to level the match after four games then steped up a gear to post a 234 to Carmen's 200 to take the gold medal. The boys European hopes rested on just one boy, Daniel Vezis the two handed leftie from Latvia with an English father and Latvian mother. Vezis went up against the mighty Koreans as not one but three had all made the last four.

England have sent a strong squad to Finland this year as always, In the boys team Adam Cains, Matt Chamberlain, Steven Miller and Richard Teece and in the girls squad Rachel Cox, Danielle Hopcroft, Sarah Overall and Hayley White. They will be supported by Team Manager Dave Godfrey, Team Official Michelle Godfrey and Coach Jon Zadel who will be looking to continue his great start to his England coaching career by landing some more medals after a successful recent Women's championships with the adult England team.
The Irish have also sent a talented squad with Aimee Kellegher, Caitriona Mulhall, Sara Kelly and Stephanie Clearly representing the girls and Gareth Shannon, Karl Doherty, Shane Hendrick and Conan Mackay in the boys squad. They have Coach/Manager Peter Kelly and Coach Keith Monahan there for help and advice.
The Northern Ireland squad is just one person this year but it is Lauren Dugan that will fly the flag for her country and she has a good chance in the singles, all events and masters. Lauren has good support in her brother Grant Dugan who is acting as her coach and has plenty of experience himself being a former Northern Irish international, as well as his position in the Seismic bowling company.
Scotland also have every chance to surprise a few with a strong squad. Tania Yusaf and Hazel Morrison will be confident with Holly Fleming making up the trio of Scottish starlets. In the boys squad Gary Redpath, Kristian McWilliams, Martin Williamson and Brian Gillespie (ho many tip to be a future Scottish international star) look like a strong unit. Andrew Gillespie and Ann Williamson make up the officials line up and will be looking to make the squad as competitive as possible.
Venezuela may turn a few heads with Jackeline Gerani, Endrina Bracuto, Michelle Diaz and Maria Teresa Pascoal making up the ladies team and Giorgio Clinaz, Michael Piccari, Kevin Belandria and Oscar Novoa in the boys squad.
Hong Kong are looking strong this year, especially when you see who they have as their coaches. "Never nervous Purvis" Grainger from the USA is head coach, with superstar world bowling star Tim Mack as a coach and Kam Chee Polma Cheng as their sports psychologist. Just a boys team for Hong Kong but it is packed with up and coming talent.
Never ever discount the Malaysians. This year they have yet another super strong squad lead by World Ranking Masters Cchampion Siti Safiyah Amirah and supported by Sin Li Jane, Fatin Syazliana Adi and Jaqueline Jenelee Sijore in the girls squad with Aris Ardilla Santosoh, Yusif Abdul Raof, Syimir Abdul Razak and Khoo Beng Khai in the boys squad.
It has sometimes been said not many internationals ever come to Finland and beat the Finns on home soil and this could be true yet again. Jenni Keränen,
Suvi Leskinen, Roosa Lundén and Sanna Pasanen make up the girls squad and Mikko Hirvonen, Perttu Jussila, Jesse Kallio and Samu Valarantamake up the boys squad.
Another Scandinavian squad to always watch out for is the Swedes, Victoria Johansson, Sandra Andersson, Rebecka Larsen and Joline Persson Planefors are a strong looking girls outfit and Kim Bolleby, Johan Helldén, Kristoffer Hagelberg and Mattias Wetterberg make up a strong boys team.
It is fair to say I could have picked many European teams to feature in these write ups but one country that catches the eye is the Netherlands, considering an ultra strong ladies squad of Lisanne Breeschoten, Carmen Haandrikman, Bianca Wiekeraad and Kelly Plummen as well as a boys team of Phil Hulst, Dwayne van Zandwijk, Remco van Dommelen and Ramon Hilferink.
The Middle East is fast becoming an area to watch out for. Many of the countries have worked hard in the last few years, not least is Kuwait who, with former England international Paul Delany as their coach, could turn a few heads this year. The boys team of Rakan Alamiri, Jassim Abbas, Abdullah Ahmad and Mohammad Salem will be looking to impress.
Saudi Arabia are also ones to watch out for with Faisal Al Juraifani, Sultan Al Harbi, Faisal Sugati, Ammar Terad, Khalid Al Hamdan and Hassan Oraif making up the boys squad under the watchful eye of former PBA star Del Ballard.
The first fifty-one girls took to the Tali lanes looking for a good start in the 2010 WYC and after three games of six it was an all European top three as Austria's Lexi Nicoll and The Netherlands' Lisanne Breeschoten tied for first place with 666 (222) with Carmen Haandrikman also from The Netherlands in third place with 656 (218).
By the end of six games though it was Latvia's Diana Zavjalova that lead the way and into third overall with 1320 (220) and grabbed her place in the semi finals. Team USA's Brittni Hamilton also made the last four by placing second in the squad and fourth overall with 1320 (220) just pipping England's Hayley White who was third in the squad and fifth overall with 1302 (217).
As for the boys, Estonia were the surprise leaders with 5008 and a fine 1362 frim Kert Truus with Korea in second place with 4962 and Seung-Hyeon Shin tops with 1305. Australia placed third with 4952 and Keven McRae leading with 1280 as Team USA snatched the final place on 4932 and Andrew Koff rolling a 1335.
