U trećem kolu su mnogo slabije rejtingovane ekipe namučile favorite olimpijade. SAD je jedva savladala Dansku rezultatom 2,5:1,5, Indija je Italiju savladala 3:1 kao i Uzbekistan Austriju. Srbija je pobijedila Kanadu 2,5:1,5 zahvaljujući pobjedama Inđića i Predkea.
Zanimljivo da na ovoj, neki bi rekli „krnjoj“ olimpijadi (zbog neučešća Rusije) vode ekipe Rumunije, a slijede Francuska i Poljska.
Samarkand, Uzbekistan, 16-27.09.2026.
