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.

The Men's 470 lead went to and fro all week but Sime Fantela and Igor Marenic (CRO) held their nerve to add a gold medal to their two silvers from the 2013-2014 ISAF Sailing World Cup series. Silver went to Anton Dahlberg and Fredrik Bergstrom (SWE) whilst Mat Belcher and Will Ryan (AUS) took bronze.

Female ISAF Rolex World Sailors of the Year Jo Aleh and Polly Powrie (NZL) won the Women's 470 Medal Race and with it gold as they made it three consecutive 200-point regatta wins in a row.
France's Camille Lecointre and Hélène Defrance had held the lead in the Women's 470 for the large part of the week but came undone on the final day as a sixth knocked them off gold medal position. They were made to settle for silver whilst bronze went to Hannah Mills and Saskia Clark (GBR).

Billy Besson and Marie Riou went into the Nacra 17 Medal Race with an unassailable 22 point lead and the gold medal sewn up. ISAF Sailing World Cup Miami gold medallists Vittorio Bissaro and Silvia Sicouri (ITA) added a World Cup silver to their collection having finished in fifth. Bronze went to Darren Bundock and Nina Curtis (AUS).

The 2011 World Champion Giles Scott (GBR) made a successful come from behind victory on Saturday to take home the gold medal. Scott finished nine seconds behind Luke Lawrence (USA) for second place. Overnight leader Oliver Tweddell (AUS) slipped up with an eighth place finish Saturday after leading by nine points.
