A solid third place in the final race from Italy’s Diego Negri and Sergio Lambertenghi won them the 100th Anniversary Star World Championship.
For Negri, this marked a successful defense of his 2021 Worlds title, while Lambertenghi debuts his hands on the trophy.
Negri already has a bucket full of Star World Championship medals, adding gold in 2022 and 2021 to his three silvers (2016, 2014, 2008) and bronze (2015).
A Star Worlds victory has until today proved elusive for Lambertenghi, after two silvers (2016, 2014) and a bronze (2015).
Silver went to Tonci Stipanovic and Tudor Bilic (CRO) with the bronze going to Paul Cayard and Frithjof Kleen (USA)
