Ukraine take Mens Title and Greece Womens

470 World Championships

Koper

With a track record including Gold at the 1996 Olympic Regatta, 6th at the 2000 Olympics and third at the 2000 World Championship, the Ukraine pairing of Yevhen Brasvalets and Ihor Matviyenko took the 2001 World Championship title convincingly.

The British pairing of Nick Rogers and Joe Glanfield will be delighted with the Silver place having narrowly missed out on a medal at the Olympic Regatta.

Over in the Women's Fleet, the current reigning European and World Champions Sofia Bekatourou and Emilia Tsoulfa took the World Title, beating many of the leading lights from the 2000 Olympic Regatta, at which the Greek pairing placed 14th. The reigning Olympic Champions, Jenny Armstrong and Belinda Stowell just couldn't match the consistency of the Greek girls to finish 33 points behind and take the Silver.
