Notes{{notelist |25em |notes={{efn|name=world |1=Gordon and Portugal also played on the USA women team in the 1960 Olympiad (the first meet organized by the World Bridge Federation), when it finished fifth in a field of 14. USA was the only team from North America among 14 in the 1960 field; Canada entered a team in 1964, as did Mexico. The WBF database includes only the two Team Olympiad appearances for Gordon in world-level tournaments. During her lifetime there were also two "World Pair Olympiad" meets, 1962 and 1966, for which the database covers only first and second place pairs (mixed pairs, open pairs, women pairs). }} }} References1. ^{{OEB|5|634}} 2. ^"Bridge: Reviewing A.C.B.L.'s Title Play".
