- John Gimson and Anna Burnet lead into final day at Nacra17 World Championship.
Britain’s John Gimson and Anna Burnet (5,1,2) lead after the penultimate day of the Nacra 17 World Championship in Oman.
The Olympic silver medallists and 2021 European Champions are now in pole position to defend their 2020 world title.
Gimson and Burnet have a six point advantage over Gianluigi Ugolini and Maria Giubilei (7,4,6) of Italy and nine points over Paul Kohlhoff and Alica Stuhlemmer (3,9,1) of Germany with 62 pts.
In fourth place are Tim Mourniac and Lou Berthomieu (2,5,5) with 66 pts, and in fifth place Vittorio Bissaro and Maelle Frascari (1,10,3) on 75 pts.
“That wasn’t easy,” said a still-wet Gimson, shaking his head as the dark covered Mussana Beach. “It’s a chip-away regatta,” he added alluding to the multiple losses and gains he and Burnett had to manage.
