With Christian Democrat Helmut Kohl recently installed as Chancellor of West Germany and Socialist Prime Minister Francois Mitterrand facing formidable opposition in France, the Tory triumph stirred talk of a rising conservative tide in Western Europe.

However, Balsekar struggled to find her form, playing down in the seventh flight and falling in a close match...
