I have to believe this is either very bad reporting or another joke. To my knowledge, the only non-Asian countries to place as high as third in the WAGC are Netherlands and USA. I also would think I would have heard of the player, but I am not as up to date on the European scene as others.
Christian has finished fourth before.

Cristian Pop (he's not a music genre!) 7d is one of the strongest players in Europe not to have made pro. He studied as an insei in Japan with Catalin Taranu (who made 5p) and is known for his magnificent central style. Seated bottom left, reviewing his game at the 2016 WAGC:
Also Ukraine (Artem) and Argentina (Aguilar) have placed 3rd.

I am glad to see this report was inaccurate as Cristian Pop is playing in the WAGC and won his first game versus Australia.
