BRISTOL, UK - Christophe Lamy maintained his 100% record in the UK British Parliamentary debate, breaking to the finals for the third successive tournament this past weekend at the Bristol IV.
Coming off victories at University College of London President's Cup and a close runner-up position at the School of Oriental and African Studies IV, Lamy (a BP novice) continued his streak by becoming the only debater in the UK to have appeared in all three finals of the 08/09 debate tournament season thus far.
Lamy's record-setting feat capped a strong weekend for LSE, which featured three teams breaking to semifinals; the top team on tab and the top speaker on tab as well - all of which keep LSE firmly at the top of the British Universities league table. Our very own CDS alumni, Woon Lee, was one of the LSE semifinalists.
Unfortunately, Lamy's team lost out in the final to Cambridge A, however his team once again won the audience over with an explosive mix of analysis and wit. In opposing the motion that "This House Would Force Mothers and Fathers to Take Equal Maternity and Paternity Leave," Lamy brought the house down with an unexpected comparison of biological maternal bonds to Stockholm Syndrome, in addition to his now-trademark lambasting of the proposal as unacceptably heterosexist."
With consecutive upcoming tournaments at Imperial College, Oxford, and Cambridge quickly gearing the national circuit towards Worlds in December, the Chicago Debate Society looks set to continue its overseas success in the coming weeks.
